For more than a week, I’ve been trying to get the names of the people appointed to the East and West/Memorial task forces on attendance and facilities.
I have the following partial list of the names of people who were nominated by board members and the board member who nominated each.

Ruth Robarts nominated:

I have no information on whether Shwaw Vang nominated anyone.
Two nominees don’t want their names released and three nominees have not contacted the MMSD about the release of their names, as of September 13.
When I asked for the names of people who have been selected from among these names, Board President Carol Carstensen responded:

The list of the Board appointees to the task forces is not yet complete but I hope that we will be able to release the names of all the task force members in the next day or so.

The West/Memorial task force meets on at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, September 20 at Toki Middle. The East Task Force meets at 6:30 p.m. at Sherman on Thursday, September 22.
Each school in the East, West, and Memorial attendance areas can appoint a member, but the board has not yet received a nominee from each of the schools.
