School Board election season begins

Besides snow and the holidays, December marks that time of year when campaigning for school board seats begins. Nomination papers can be picked up at the school District office. This is a great services and allows the school board to know who exactly might be campaigning to replace one of them or an open seat so they can find their own candidate to maintain the status quo.

Of course, if you'd rather run "under the radar", you do NOT have to get the forms at the School District. You can obtain the necessary forms at: http://elections.state.wi.us/subcategory.asp?linksubcatid=412&linkcatid=526&linkid=295&locid=47

There are 3 seats up this year:
- Mary Ellen Havel-Lang (3 yr)
- David Stackhouse (3 yr)
- Timothy Boylen (note this will only be for 1-year)

This is YOUR chance to change the direction of the board. Please consider running for one of these seats.

The forms you will need to file (due in the school district office by 5:00 January 2) are:

• EB-162 (Declaration of candidacy)
• EB-169 (Nomination Paper for Non-Partisan Office)...requires 100 signatures
• EB-1 (Campaign Registration statement)
