Two school board seats will be up for election in 2018. School board President, Frank Barber’s term expires, making a three-year term available. The seat formerly occupied by Jason Hoagland, who resigned before completing his term, will come up for election as a one-year term. Petitions of those seeking these seats must be returned to the district clerk by April 16th no later than 5:00 pm. To run, a person needs to be 18 years old by May 15th, must have resided in the school district for at least a year, and must submit a petition signed by 25 eligible voters.
I will be covering these contests and will be sending out questionnaires to all those who enter the race. Stay tuned.
