The Lincoln County School District Board of Directors appointed Jason Malloy as the Zone 3 Board Member at a special session held July 29, 2024. Malloy’s appointment comes after the resignation of Zone 3 Board Member, Mike Rawles. Malloy has worked in public service for 33 years, raising three children who graduated from the Lincoln County School District. “I’m excited to work with the board and school administration to have a positive impact on

student achievement, and continue to build positive relationships throughout the district,” Malloy said.

After Rawles resignation, the LCSD Board declared a Zone 3 vacancy on June 18, 2024 and accepted applications from Zone 3 residents through June 30. The Board held a special session on July 29 to interview three candidates. Following the interviews, the Board selected Malloy with a unanimous 4-0 vote. Malloy was sworn in following the vote and will serve the remainder of Rawles term from July 29, 2024 to June 30, 2025.

“I am very pleased with the Board’s selection of Jason Malloy to replace Mike Rawles as the LCSD board member for Zone 3,” said LCSD Board Chair Peter Vince. “Jason has extensive connections to the community in Newport. He has demonstrated his commitment to the school district as a coach and a volunteer. I look forward to the contributions he will make in the coming school year as we work together to provide the best possible education for every student.” Zone 3 includes the following Newport area precincts: South Beach, Nye Creek, Newport Bay, Oceanview, Yaquina, and Pacific. The Zone 3 Board position will be on the May 2025 ballot for a new four year term.
