Whitewater Unified School District Board of Education incumbent Thayer Coburn has filed a declaration of candidacy making clear his plans to run for reelection in April.
Coburn’s plans remained unclear after he missed a deadline to file a declaration of non-candidacy in December.
As earlier reported by Fort Atkinson Online, two other incumbents — Casey Judd and Steven Ryan — have each filed notifications of non-candidacy, according to information earlier released by school district officials, making clear their intentions to forego seeking another term.
To date, the district has reported one challenger, Stephanie Hicks, who also has submitted the required forms to be included on the April ballot.
Three seats will come due for reelection in April. A deadline to file a declaration of candidacy with the school district was Tuesday at 5 p.m.
Candidates coming forward after the deadline may seek election through the ballot write-in process.
School board members serve three-year terms.
