John Tillotson retired from teaching following the 24-25 school year and subsequently applied to fill the Board of Education vacancy created by the resignation of former Board Vice President Brad Davis. The Board interviewed Mr. Tillotson on June 18, 2025 and voted unanimously to appoint him to the vacancy.
Mr. Tillotson has been a teacher in the CCSD for the past 27 years and during that time has watched the District both strive and struggle. Tillotson wrote in his letter of interest, “ I may not have all the answers, but I certainly know our community, district, and, most of all, our students and will do my best to accommodate them. Our district is unique and should run with our students' needs as the priority!”
Tillotson is also a Volunteer Firefighter for the Wet Mountain Valley Fire Protection District as well as a fire instructor. He has previously served on the board of the fire protection district.
Following the appointment, the Board voted unanimously to name Director Cameron Fore to the vacant Vice President position.
