SCHOOL BOARD TO DISCUSS SPECIAL ELECTION FRIDAY

THE SIOUX CITY SCHOOL BOARD WILL MEET FRIDAY MORNING IN SPECIAL SESSION TO DISCUSS A SPECIAL ELECTION FOR THE BOARD SEAT VACATED LAST YEAR BY NANCY MOUNTS.

MOUNTS RESIGNED FROM THE CITY SCHOOL BOARD PRIOR TO HER TERM EXPIRING. JOHN MEYERS WAS APPOINTED TO SERVE THE REST OF HER TERM WITH THE NEXT BOARD ELECTION SET FOR SEPTEMBER 2013.

BUT BECAUSE A LEVY VOTE FOR WESTERN IOWA TECH WILL TAKE PLACE ON FEBRUARY 5TH, THE CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT MUST BY STATE LAW HOLD AN ELECTION FOR THAT BOARD SEAT AT THE SAME TIME.

WE FIRST REPORTED BACK ON DECEMBER 19TH THAT WOODBURY COUNTY AUDITOR PAT GILL WAS PREPARING FOR THE FEBRUARY ELECTION TO TAKE PLACE:
GILL SAID THEN THAT IT DIDN'T LEAVE A LOT OF TIME FOR CANDIDATES TO FILE FOR THE ELECTION:



THE SCHOOL BOARD WILL DISCUSS THE PROCEDURE FOR THE SPECIAL ELECTION AT 8AM FRIDAY.
