Editor’s note: This was done to replace board member Curtis Gauss, who resigned after the deadline for another candidate to run, while he instead ran unsuccessfully to unseat Supervisor Kathy Burns in a very close election. We understand that six different candidates were submitted to the Governor, including Rich Lamken, a former California Assistant Superintendent and perennial attendee and commenter on school affairs. Zimerman is also part owner of the group that owns the Yulee News, according to co-owner Matt Davis.
