Four seats up for election on Clayton Ridge School board
The Clayton Ridge School Board will have terms expiring for four of its current members this fall. Election day is Tuesday, Sept. 8.
Seats up for election are those currently held by Dr. Jeff Hoffmann, Christine Aulwes, Janice Andregg and John Heying.
Election papers may be picked up at the high school business office in Guttenberg, or from Mary Seifert, board secretary, from now through July 30. Papers must be returned to the Clayton County Auditor’s office, or to the school business office, no later than 5:00 p.m. on July 30, 2015.
Local school officials urge residents to consider being a part of the decision making for the Clayton Ridge District by running for one of the four open positions.
The Iowa Association of School Boards also urges Iowans who are passionate about education to consider running. "Strong leadership in every school district is critical to moving education forward in this state," said an IASB spokesperson.
School board members are elected to serve four-year terms, with elections taking place in odd-numbered years. A free guide for board candidates, titled Leaders Who Care, can be found at www.ia-sb.org.
