DeHart did not provide prior written notice or consult with school board chair Deb Bridges or the interim superintendent, David Parker, before resigning, according to Bridges.

The appointed candidate will serve through June 30, 2025, according to a release from the school district. Applicants must be registered voters and have resided in Zone 1 for at least one year. If no qualified candidates from Zone 1 apply, the board may consider applicants from other zones within the district.

Interested parties can submit a letter of interest to Tabitha Renne via mail (714 E. 6th St, Newberg, OR 97132) or email. Applications are due by 5 p.m. on March 3 and should be submitted to Renne via mail or email as well.

According to the school district, Newberg-Dundee Public Schools is governed by a seven-member board of directors. All board members are volunteers and receive no compensation.
