Candidiate Update: Whalen in

Despite reports from numerous sources that John Whalen was NOT going to run for re-election, it seems that he now IS running to retain his board seat.

He was circulating nomination papers at the Special School Board work session on Tuesday Dec. 2.

The current buzz is that his employer likes the prospect of Mr. Whalen serving as a board member.

Hmmmm.

Stay tuned. This means that Whalen, Shimek, and Slane all plan to retain their seats. Several folks have been asking the question: "Will Mary Ellen Havel-Land submit candidacy papers?" SP-EYE has not heard anything along the lines, but we'll keep you posted as information comes available.
