Julie Olsen will be officially sworn in to the Saugus Union School District Governing Board Tuesday evening, along with fellow board members David Powell and Christopher Trunkey.
Olsen won the November election in a close race against Bruce Fox, receiving 55.72 percent of the vote, or 2,998 votes. She is replacing retiring board member Rose Koscielny after her 21 years of service to the district.
The board’s newest members will be sworn in during the meeting’s open session at 7:30 p.m.
“I’m really excited,” Olsen said. “I’ll be sworn in as well as David Powell and Christopher Trunkey.”
During the organizational meeting, the board will also be electing its president and clerk.
The governing board will also select a representative to the SELPA Board Liaison Committee, a representative to Los Angeles County School Trustees Association (LACSTA), two representatives to serve as members of the Governing Board of Saugus/Hart School Facilities Financing Authority and one representative to vote in electing members to County Committee on School District Organization.
