[Winona Online Democracy] Can someone help me/us understand who all is running for which position on the School Board? Randy says -- School Board Candidates: Greg Fellman, Kelly Herold, Dave Hawthrone, Fred Peterson, Kenneth Kersting
The Business Advocate in today's paper says that District 5 School board hs three candidates - Dave Hawthorne, Ken Kersting & Fred Petersen. The School Board site http://www.rschooltoday.com/se3bin/clientgenie.cgi# says District 4's term expires this year. I think Fred P.is the incumbent in Dist. 5. I think the incumbent in Dist. 4 isn't running and I do not know if Vicki English is up or not since the school web site does not show what district it is or when the term expires. I also can't find a map that shows where the district's boundries are.
