By Ken McLemore/Hope Public Schools, 04/12/21 9:17 PMHOPE – Letters of interest to fill the pending Zone 3 Hope Public Schools Board of Education
vacancy must be submitted by Friday.
A letter of nomination from any registered voter in Hope Public Schools Zone 3 seeking to fill the
vacancy announced from the retirement of Zone 3 Representative Margaret Moss will be
accepted in the office of HPS Superintendent Dr. Bobby Hart at 117 E. Second St., Hope, Ar.,
71801, until noon Friday.
Moss will formally retire from the board at the May 17 meeting. She declined to seek re-election
