The school district has confirmed that the run-off election for the last seat on the Board of Education is scheduled for Tuesday, June 19th.
This will be a contest between the two write-in candidates who ended up tied after the regular election. Joyce Corcoran and Mark Ives will vie for a single four-year term on the board.
Over the weekend, I mailed questionnaires to both candidates.
Quick frankly, I’m looking forward to the election because a contested election should bring out both candidate’s ideas for improving the school district. I believe that a healthy debate on all the issues regarding the district is much needed.
Over the last few years, we’ve had uncontested elections where the candidates haven’t stated any positions. Hopefully that will change this time around.
More as this develops.
