Questions Remain Over Write-In Election

There have been some reports that one of the three seats on the Board of Education (contested in Tuesday’s election) is for a one-year term. This is contrary to the legal notice that the school district ran announcing the election.

The three seats open on the Board of Education were identified in the district’s legal notice as two 5-year terms and one term to fill the unexpired term of George Armstrong which is set to expire in 2016 (4 years). See the legal notice announcing the board of education election and the terms for those elected. Is the district now saying that the term of the person replacing George Armstrong is for one year? If so, this seems to be contrary to the their own legal notice.
