Shawano, Bonduel school boards still have vacancies

The Shawano School District is still seeking a board member for a vacant seat, while an incumbent on the Bonduel School Board who chose not to run again won a write-in for another term. In Shawano, incumbent Jay Jones decided not to run for another two-year term to fill the Shawano School Board seat representing the town of Herman, and no candidates came forward to vie for his seat. There were no write-ins from the town in Tuesday’s spring election. That means the vacancy will go back to the School Board to solicit names and hold interviews. Whoever is appointed will serve one year, until the 2016 spring election. Jones was elected to the board in 2009, replacing Wendy Gueths, who chose not to run. In the Bonduel School District, incumbent Greg Rank also chose not to run again, but voters wrote him in anyway. District Administrator Patrick Rau said the board will find out at its April 20 meeting whether Rank plans on accepting the seat for another term. Rank received 40 write-in votes. Nate Burton was the second-place write-in choice with 30 votes. Results from several other area races were not available earlier in the week and include the following: GRESHAM SCHOOL BOARD (2 seats) Andy Schmidt (I) - 194 Grace Schwefel (I) - 131 Jeremy Bennett - 120 Daniel Boucher - 116 WITTENBERG-BIRNAMWOOD SCHOOL BOARD - AREA 5 Tammy Wendler - 744 Rose Tryba - 413 TIGERTON VILLAGE TRUSTEE (3 seats) Holly Weatherwax (I) - 84 Andrea Graham - 77 Angela Beyersdorf (I) - 73 Joey Gauthier - 72 Rick Weller - 51 TOWN OF PELLA TOWN BOARD SUPERVISOR 1 Kenneth Genskow (I) - 111 Fred M.
