Information released Tuesday by the Whitewater Unified School District indicates that 12 candidates will vie for three at-large seats on the district’s board of education which will be decided in April.
The field of 12 candidates will necessitate a primary election which will be held in February.
Voters will find the names of the top six vote-getters emerging from the primary placed on the April ballot.
The primary contenders are: Stephanie Hicks, Joseph A. Kromholz, Christy Linse, Michael Bergman, Chuck Mills, Daniel Dern, Lisa Huempfner, Will Dammeir, Brian Schanen, incumbent Thayer A. Coburn, John D. Truesdale, and Nathan Vander Pas.
The filing deadline for candidates to have their names included on the ballot was Tuesday, at 5 p.m.
Three candidates emerging victorious after the April election will be seated on April 24.
Candidates serve for three-year terms.
Two incumbents, Steve Ryan and Casey Judd, as earlier reported, filed declarations of non-candidacy in December.
