Experience varied between the applicants, who had a wide array of educational and professional backgrounds. Still, several were education-related former employees.
The winning three candidates included Tom Walker, John Walker, and Rebecca Kalb.
The votes came in at Jennifer Charles, 700; Charis L. Davis, 1,035; Rebecca Kalb, 1,466; Nathan Prosch, 932; Myra E Shields, 837; John Tomlin, 689; John Walker, 1,210; and Tom Walker, 1,393.
