Green Bay school board narrows candidate field. Here's who made the interview round

The Green Bay School Board selected seven finalists who'll interview to fill a vacancy on the board until April 2026, with only one of the three applicants who ran in 2025 selected for the interview round. Next week, the finalists will interview, and one will be selected. Here's what to know before the vote. The Green Bay School Board chose seven finalists. All candidates received votes, and board members could "advocate" their support for their preferred candidates. Samantha Meister, 875 Hubbard St., Green Bay: received votes, supported by Lynn Gerlach and Laura McCoy Rick Crosson, 2869 Sussex Road, Green Bay: received four votes Miranda Schornack, 624 Ridgeview Court, Allouez: received four votes, supported by Alex Mineau and Lynn Gerlach Aaron Lee, 2856 Curry Lane, Green Bay: received five votes, supported by Andrew Becker twice Alyssa Proffitt, 1262 Cherry St., Green Bay: received five votes, supported by Jeanette Knill and Laura McCoy Brant Pearson, 3641 Stanford Drive, Green Bay: received three votes, supported by Alex Mineau Matthew Seegert, 2460 He-Nis-Ra Lane, Green Bay: received four votes, supported by Lynn Gerlach and Laura McCoy Crosson was appointed after former board member Laura Laitinen-Warren resigned in 2024; he ran for election to the board in April and lost. Proffitt serves on the Green Bay City Council. Katie Gentry, who got fourth place in the April 2025 election, was not selected for the interview round. She received more votes than Crosson. To narrow the field, the board used rounds of cumulative voting. In the first round, each candidate had eight votes to use as they wished for any of the 16 candidates — they could use all eight on one candidate or spread them out as they liked. In the next round, members each had five votes to use on nine candidates, etc., until they settled on final candidates. Multiple members of the public came out to support Crosson's reappointment. Jason Wright, executive director of Brothers Helping Brothers, called Crosson a "great man and community leader"; Sister Melanie Maczka said the board should reflect Green Bay's diverse community by selecting Crosson, who is Black, while all the other members are White; and former Green Bay School Board member Nancy Welch said the board should act as a check on the administration and thus choose Crosson. "He's knowledgeable and independent, he does his homework, he speaks his mind," Welch said. Next week, at its June 16 meeting, the board plans to interview the finalists and ultimately select the new member. That new member will serve on the board for a year; if they want to stay on the board, they'll have to run for office. That means in 2026, one of the three seats up for election will only be a one-year term. The top two vote-getters in that election will serve a normal three-year term, while the third highest vote-getter will serve a one-year term. The seat was held by former board member Kou Lee, who resigned May 8 after a Press-Gazette investigation published earlier that day raised questions about his eligibility for office. School Board President James Lyerly said he'd told Lee earlier that day to prove his residency and, if he couldn't, that resignation was an option. Brown County District Attorney David Lasee is investigating Lee's residency based on a Brown County Republican Party complaint and the Press-Gazette's investigation. Lasee told the Press-Gazette via email that he's not sure when the investigation will be complete, but that it'll likely take at least a month. Becker requested candidates bring a statement confirming their primary residency is within the district, saying it shows respect, and Mineau and Lyerly supported the idea in part: on June 16, board candidates will confirm their primary residence in their interview introduction. The Press-Gazette independently confirmed that every applicant either owns a home in the Green Bay School District or registered to vote at an address in the Green Bay School District in 2024 or earlier.
