Kris Rowedder retiring from Denison School Board

The names for the November 7 city and school elections are set. Last Thursday was the last day to file nomination papers.

One school election change will be the retirement of Kris Rowedder from the Denison School Board. She is in her 21st year on the board and had served as president of the board for a number of years. When she knew she was not going to run again, she stepped down as president two yeas ago to give other board members the experience of serving in that capacity. Louis Scheuring is the current board president.

Filing for the two seats up for election on the Denison School Board are Derek Lambert, an incumbent, and Michael Schrum.

Denison School Board seats are at-large.

Following are the other school board filings in the county.

Ar-We-Va: Greg Oeser, Brad R. Hinners and Denise Ragaller, all incumbents, filed for the three at-large positions up for election.
