Local School Board and Referendum Results

(Undated) In local school board elections the MCW school district elected Paul Schoen, Sam Meixell and Brandon Clarke to the board. In Fairmont there were three running for the School board so Michael Edman, Jen Harris and Betsy Tino will serve the Fairmont School District. Jackson County Central elected Kylla Hummel, Nolan Schuller and Shelly Hotzler to the board and the school referendum passed at JCC by slim margin of 132 votes. The referendum replaces a current $460 per pupil funding level and increases it to $1460 per student. School officials warned that drastic reductions would have had to take place had the measure not passed. Mark Franta, Kyle Zierke, and Brice Hanson won their school board election for the Blue Earth Area School District.
