No school board election this year

The filing period for declaring oneself a candidate for the November’s school board election closed today, and only the current three incumbents up for re-election filed. So, there won’t be an election fpr school board, which will save the candidates the need to mount a campaign and will also save the District some money by not having to pay part of its pro-rata election costs to the county. Congratulations to my colleagues Carrie Du Bois, Mark Olbert, and Beth Hunkapiller, and thanks for committing to four more years!
