Those filing applications are: Frank Baker, a real estate appraiser, Bob Slupik, a math teacher at New Braunfels High School; and Mark A. Smith, an insurance agent/producer for Barnard Donegan Insurance in New Braunfels.
Nichols resigned from the school board on Sept. 30 citing personal health issues. He had been president of the board since May and served as secretary of the board for three years before that. He was first elected to the board in 1999 and his current term expires in May.
