District news
Board fills a vacancy after four rounds of voting; a missed ballot step puts four seats up in April 2027
What happened
Board member Corey Dassow resigned. On October 26 the board chose Amanda Lange over Adam Rodman, 5 to 3 on the fourth round, to serve until April 2027. In September the district also reported it had missed putting Heidi Haynes's seat on the April 2026 ballot, and the board voted to let her serve until the spring 2027 election.
Why it matters to families
Voters will choose four board members in April 2027. The mistake shows a step in the election process was missed, and it was fixed by board vote rather than by an election.
