A mini-version of Wisconsin is brewing in the
ISD 199 school board race. There are the four seats that are open this year on the
ISD 199 School Board. The District 199 Board of Education is comprised of seven voting members elected at-large from the total school community. The superintendent serves as a non-voting ex-officio member.
Four board positions will be open for election on Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2011. Board members serve four-year terms. There are 4 great candidates:
Micky Difronzo (incumbent), Keri Myran (incumbent), Allen Gerber, and Tom Begich.
This election is very reminisced of two years ago the State GOP got involved in the IGH School Board races, trying to elect a slate of three very conservative Republicans. We expect to see them involved in these races again this year. We've heard that SD39B GOP Chair Mark Westpfal is running along with
Bridget Sutton (incumbent) who is GOP State Chair Tony Suttons wife. These are very uber-rightwing GOP that supported and helped crafted Emmer's failed run for office last year.
We will need your help to elect the four great candidates (Difronzo, Myran, Gerber, Begich) to the school board that promote education, support teachers and funding for our Minnesota schools.
