Where Have All the School Board Candidates Gone?
Decatur Metro | October 7, 2009I’ve now heard this rumor twice today. CSD Snowflake sums it up nicely for us in a previous comment…
My understanding is that the School Board contested positions are down to four candidates in two races:
District 1: Garrett Goebel and Marc Wisniewski
At Large: Rob Pope and Valerie Wilson
Bernadette [Seals] is running unopposed for the District 2 seat. Everyone else must have dropped out.
If this is indeed true, what the heck happened to Elizabeth A. Hagberg, Carla Melissa Anderson, Judith Lomas, Alan Greenberg, Stephan Yurman, Dr. Catherine W Carter, and Mildred Thompkins?
Why register if you’re not going to go at it whole-hog? As an anonymous tipster points out, registering and not actively running “just put non-serious candidates on the ballot and confuses the issue.”

Maybe time to up that $35 registration fee for the School Board.
I suspect that these folks saw an opportunity, didn’t really know who else was running and said what the heck it’s only $35, maybe I’ll be the only one who files or it will be an open seat.
When they found out that the incumbents were really running they dropped out.
it’s bernadette seals, not wilson
It’s a labor of love anyway, because if i recall, they are paid $ 15 per meeting.
Can’t find news anywhere — why is Renfroe under lockdown??
thanks!
