The South Plains College (SPC) Board of Regents are still accepting letters of interest with the intent to fill the Position Two vacancy spot within the group through the appointment process.
The board is now accepting letters of interest for the position until October 3 at 4 p.m.
Letters can be sent to the Executive Director of Administrative Services, Nick Castillo.
Individuals can send their letters to ncastillo@southplainscollege.edu. If more information is needed, the number to contact is 806.716.2246.
The board elected to go with the appointment process and if there were no applicants, they would shift to the election process given there is an adequate amount of time to allow both processes if necessary.
SPC President Dr. Robin Satterwhite explained that the two options open to the board are through appointment or election.
Satterwhite explained that if the election process was chosen, the group would have to wait for the 2025 election in May.
As a result, the elected individual would only serve a one-year term as that would be what was remaining of term at that point in time.
Additionally, following that one-year term, the individual would have to go through the election process once more and be elected for a full three-year term.
Satterwhite provided the alternative option which would allow the appointed individual on the board to serve without having to wait until the May 2025 election and would give the individual a little less than twoyears to serve before the term expires and the election for the position begins.
