The Decorah Community School District Board appointed Brad Darling of rural Decorah to fill the board seat vacated by longtime board member Brian Petersburg. The board made the decision during a special session Monday afternoon.

Petersburg, who served on the board for 17 years, submitted his resignation last week. The resignation was effective Nov. 12. Darling’s appointment was supported by each of the four members remaining on the board Monday.

Darling ran for an at-large position during the last school board election in 2023. He received 1,186 votes. He has also served on the district’s elementary school facilities committee this year.

The appointment is temporary until a successor is elected. Darling is expected to serve until November 2025, unless a valid petition calling for a special election is submitted.
