Flurry of school trustees filings

Today, the eve of the deadline to qualify for the November school board races in Oconee County, there is now a flurry of entrants – competition for each of the two seats available.  At last check, the candidates for Seat One are Dean Bare, the incumbent; along with challengers Amanda Holder and Keri Unsworth.  For Seat Three, besides incumbent Sandra Sloan candidates are John Fallon, Jeremy Hobbs, and Riley Johnson.  Deadline to run is straight up noon tomorrow.  These two non-partisan elections are to be decided in winner take-all votes during the November General Election.
