School board positions up for re-election

This November, two school board members will be elected or re-elected for the Danville and Mount Vernon City school districts .

Let me be the first to say that I will be voting for the school board this year. The Mount Vernon News reported that Leroy Bumpus, Roger Clark, and Ron Ross are all up for re-election. These are the characters we need to remove. We need fresh faces with realistic views to oversee our schools so nobody else feels the way I did when they cancelled graduation.

So what if they run un-opposed? You're stuck!

If you have all the answers feel free to run for the Board. It is easy to find fault and complain when you don't have to answer to anyone.

Ummm...just out of curiousity, what do Danville and Mount Vernon have to do with Centerburg? Aren't they separate districts? Or does Knox County have one school board for the county or something like that?

Please clarify if you would.

But if they did have anything to do with cancelling the graduation, I will be happy to come over and make signs for whoever is running against them, even though I don't live in Knox County. What that school board did was wrong...innocent until proven guilty.

I wonder if John Morgan's middle name is Adolf...

I don't live in Centerburg but I think it's great to see political process in action, and I hope all three are voted out. Let me know if any of the people running against them need some free campaign help - I live less than an hour away...

It's called a WRITE-IN...

Ganymede, the three have been named in the paper and would love the help.

[Get them out]

There are 4 running, Jason Rogers, Shaun Christy, Terry Lewis and Nicole McVickers. We have several opportunities for the public to meet them, watch the paper.
