Poudre School District board appoints candidate to temporarily fill board vacancy
The Poudre School District Board of Education has appointed a temporary board member to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of board member Carolyn Reed. Reed resigned in May after 11 years on the board and with six months remaining in her final four-year term. Andrew Spain was appointed during the board's special meeting June 17 to temporarily represent District E, according to a Poudre School District news release. Spain will serve on the board representing District E through the next regular school board election on Nov. 4, when voters will elect a representative to serve a full term. Spain is also running for a long-term seat on the board and is the only candidate for the District E seat as of June 25. District E includes northern and western Larimer County, including Wellington, Red Feather Lakes and Poudre Canyon. Spain served as a parent representative last year on the Facilities Planning Steering Committee that was tasked with recommending school consolidations and closures to address declining enrollment. He has a doctorate in educational leadership and policy analysis from the University of Missouri and works as the associate executive director for the Society for Simulation in Healthcare, Spain previously told the Coloradoan. Spain "brings leadership experience in education, healthcare, and nonprofit sectors" to the board, according to the district news release. He lives in Wellington with his wife, and they are both Poudre School District graduates. They have seven children ages 16 to 32. Spain is the only person running for District E as of June 25, but others have announced their candidacy to represent District C and District D. Candidates running for District C (representing northeast Fort Collins) include Sabrina Herrick and Kayla Baise, who filed paperwork to run with the Colorado Secretary of State's Office on June 11. The District C seat is currently held by Kristen Draper, the board's president, but Draper is term-limited and cannot run for reelection. Candidates running for District D (representing northwest Fort Collins) include Tom Griggs, Coronda Ziegler and Mike Thomas. Jim Brokish currently holds this seat but does not plan to run for reelection. Candidates must live in the geographic district they represent but are elected by all voters in the school district, which spans more than 1,800 square miles. The volunteer directors serve four-year terms. This article originally appeared on Fort Collins Coloradoan: Poudre School District Board of Education fills District E vacancy

Trump gets 'golden share' power in US Steel buyout. US agencies will get it under future presidents
HARRISBURG, Pa. — President Donald Trump will control the so-called 'golden share' that's part of the national security agreement under which he allowed Japan-based Nippon Steel to buy out iconic American steelmaker U.S. Steel, according to disclosures with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The provision gives the president the power to appoint a board member and have a say in company decisions that affect domestic steel production and competition with overseas producers.
