BISMARCK, N.D. – Jamestown School Board Member Jason Rohr has been appointed to the North Dakota Board of Public School Education by Governor Doug Burgum.
Rohr will fill Burdell Johnson’s term that ends June 30, 2026. He resigned in August. Burgum picked Rohr from four finalists suggested by a nomination committee of education stakeholders.
Rohr will represent Burleigh, Stutsman, Eddy, Foster, Kidder, McLean, Sheridan and Wells County.
Members of the Board of Public School Education are concurrent members of the state Board of Career and Technical Education, which supervises North Dakota’s Department of Career and Technical Education and its programs.
The board also oversees North Dakota’s six regional education associations and the North Dakota K-12 Education Coordination council. It encourages collaboration among education stakeholders, supports education innovation, and advises the state Legislature.
The North Dakota Department of Public Instruction says most of the Board of Public School Education’s work involves deciding school district requests to transfer property, reorganize, or dissolve. It normally meets 10 times a year.
