Monday was the deadline for candidates to submit a their information to the Wake County Board of Education for the spot left open by the resignation of District 4 Representative Rosa Gill.

Gill resigned from the board on June 16, after being selected to serve in the North Carolina House of Representatives as the District 33 representative. She succeeds former Rep. Dan Blue, who was selected to serve out the remainder of the late Sen. Vernon Malone’s term in the N.C. Senate.

District 4 encompasses East Raleigh.

Wake officials said they have received four candidate applications. The board will discuss next steps during Tuesday’s board meeting and could take action in August.
