3 file for school boards

Patty Miller

EDMOND — Three candidates had filed for local school boards by 5 p.m. Monday, the first day of filing for boards of education in Oklahoma County, officials at the Oklahoma County Election Board said.

Incumbent Kemp Cole filed for re-election for Edmond Board of Education Office 5. Susan Huffer filed to challenge Cole for the seat, which has a five-year term.

Edmond’s position 5 begins at Danforth and Anderson Road; west to Kelly; north to Coffee Creek Road; west 1/2 mile to a point located 1/2 mile west of Kelly. This constitutes the southern boundary of the No. 5 election district. The school district area north of this line is included in election district No. 5.

At this time no one has filed for Jan Larsen’s seat for the Deer Creek Board of Education. Larsen, president of the Deer Creek school board, has served for 10 years and stated she will not be running again for Seat 5.

In Guthrie Orville L. Cornelius re-filed for Office 4, a four-year term. No one has filed for Office 3 held by Janna Pierson or for Office 1, a two-year unexpired term now held by Mark Swartzbaugh. Filing for the Guthrie School Board office takes place at the Logan County Election Board.

Bob Turner filed for the five-year term seat on the Francis Tuttle Technology Center board.

The Board of Education elections will be Feb. 10.

If no candidate receives more than 50 percent of the total votes cast in the election, the two candidates receiving the highest number of votes will meet in runoff elections on April 7.

Filing will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Wednesday at the Oklahoma County and Logan County Election Board offices.

Information on the role of local school board members is available from the National School Boards Association, online at www.nsbc.org. Details related to qualifications are available online at the State Department of Education Web site, sde.state.ok.us or by calling 521-4527.
