No board races in four county districts

The annual school district directors’ elections are scheduled for April 5, but four of the districts in Nodaway County will not be required to conduct votes.

State statutes provide that in instances where the number of candidates filing for open positions on a local school board does not exceed the number of openings available, the district does not have to hold an election.

In addition to the Maryville R-II district, the Jefferson, Nodaway-Holt, and Northeast Nodaway districts are not required to vote on school board members this spring.

North Nodaway, South Nodaway, and West Nodaway will conduct school board elections April 5.

In the Maryville School District, the terms of Rob Sparks and Shane Sims are expiring.

Sparks has filed for re-election, and Josh McKim has filed for the post being vacated by Sims, who has moved from the district.

Veronica Luke and Sherri Redden have filed for the two posts on the Jefferson Board of Education being vacated by Mike Mattson and Raymond Meyer.

In the Nodaway-Holt School District, Joe Day and Mike Rosenbohm are unopposed candidates for re-election.

At Northeast Nodaway, Darrin Adwell has filed for an additional term on the School Board while Kenna Florea has filed for the post being vacated by Travis burns.

Jerime Bix and Kane Oberhauser are completing terms on the Board of Education in the North Nodaway district, and they have filed for re-election. Jeremy Calfee and Jason Larson are also candidates for positions on the North Nodaway board.

In South Nodaway, where the seats held by Shawn Beck and Debbie Bennett are expiring, Bennett has filed for a new term. The second open seat is being contested among Carrie Henggeler, David Klamm, and Coby Wiederholt.

Jason Hull has filed for re-election in West Nodaway, but Lisa Linville is not seeking a new term. That position is sought by Ryan Fast and Amanda Walker.
