Anyone considering running for the Hills-Beaver Creek School Board will soon have the opportunity.
Candidates may begin filing affidavits of candidacy on Tuesday, Aug. 28, for four vacancies on the board. Each term is for four years.
A general election will be Tuesday, Nov. 6, for the spots on the board held by Lois Leuthold, Rollie Crawford, Dave Roozenboom and Al Harnack.
When contacted by phone, Leuthold said she will seek re-election to the board. However, Roozenboom will not run again. Crawford and Harnack did not return phone calls.
Candidates must be eligible to vote, must be 21 years of age or more upon assuming office, must have been a resident of the district from which the candidate seeks election for 30 days before the general election, and they must have no other affidavit on file for any other position at the same general election in order to run for office.
For those who intend to run, a $2 filing fee and Affidavit of Candidacy must be filed in the office of the school district clerk prior to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 11.
Affidavits of candidacy are available from Hills-Beaver Creek District clerk Dave Roozenboom, RR1 Box 9, Steen, MN 56173.
