Marshfield School Board short 1 member after resignation

MARSHFIELD – Marshfield School District’s school board is looking for candidates after one of its members resigned.

Steven Kizer is stepping down after one year into his first term, after taking a new job out of state, school district officials said. He was first elected to a three-year term in April 2024.

The School Board now has 60 days to fill the position; if no one is chosen by then, Board President Mark Konrardy may appoint someone to the seven-member board.

The person selected to fill out Kizer’s term will serve until the April 2026 election, where the Top 2 vote-getters will serve full three-year terms. The third vote-getter would take the last year of Kizer’s vacancy then be up for reelection again in 2027.

To be eligible for appointment, the candidate must:

• Be a U.S. citizen
• Be 18 years of age or older
• Have no disqualifying prior criminal convictions
• Be a resident of the school district for at least 28 consecutive days at the time of applying for the vacancy
