Three file for trustee spots

Barring any last minute write in candidates, the scheduled May 2 mail in election for three open school board trustee positions in the Whitehall and Cardwell districts will not take place.

Jeff Briggs was the lone candidate to file by the March 23 deadline for the three-year position that will be vacated by Angie Davis in Whitehall School Districts 4 and 47.

Incumbent Paul Shaw was the lone candidate to declare for the Whitehall District 2 (Cardwell) position. This is also a three-year term.

If there are no write in candidates filed by March 31, Briggs and Shaw would win the seats by acclimation.

March 23 was also the deadline for candidates to submit a nomination petitions for a three-year position in Cardwell School Districts 16 and 31. Dawn Lewton is the lone candidate to file and barring any write in candidates filed by March 31, she would win the seat by acclimation.
