After a round-robin interview with all five candidates seeking appointment to the seat being vacated by Chairwoman Edie Brooks, the Coeur d'Alene School Board unanimously picked former chairwoman Wanda Quinn, pictured, a long-time former trustee. Few will be surprised by the move. Trustees-elect Tom Hamilton (who was present during the interviews) and Terri Seymour had lobbied the board not to make the selection until they became members July 1. The candidates -- Quinn, Christa Hazel, Tony Norris, Jim Purtee, and Carole Stringer -- answered 11 questions during the forum and a 12th question in writing re: how they would handle parents' inquiries. Afterward, the trustees voted for their choice by secret ballot. The result was read by the board secretary. Brooks then made her resignation effective immediately. Quinn will take her seat when the board meets tonight. No public input was allowed. Dan Gookin and Duncan Koler's wife were also present at the meeting. (Photo: Coeur d'Alene Chamber of Commerce)
