Coeur d'Alene school board members have five candidates to consider as they seek a new trustee to appoint to the Zone 5 seat. The application period to apply for the position previously held by Sid Fredrickson closed at 5 p.m. Wednesday. Fredrickson resigned during the board's July 9 meeting. The appointee will complete the remainder of Fredrickson's term which ends June 30. Candidates, who must be registered voters residing in Zone 5, include Tom Hearn, Kathleen Tillman, Shelley Woodard, Jim Hightower and Matt Robinson.

Question: Anyone know who has the Reagan Republican/anti-IB crowd seal of approval, so we can skip the preliminaries and know who gets picked?
