2 File for school board

Two candidates filed prior to the deadline for a seat on the Whitehall School Board.

According to District Clerk Patti Drake, Chad Hoover was the lone candidate to file for the high school seat currently held by Paul Shaw, and Laura McDonald is the lone candidate in the elementary/high school seat held by Jeff Briggs.

Because there are no additional candidates, the May 5 election will be canceled, and the two candidates will be elected by acclamation.
