Several county school board races take shape

By Bridget Nash, Staff Writer

Enid voters will have one school board race to decide following the final day of filing Wednesday.

Robbie Woods, Enid Public Schools Office 6 incumbent, will face a challenge from Colleen K. Arnold. Office 6 covers basically north and west Enid.

Sean P. Byrne will take the Office 1 seat on the EPS Board of Education. He was the only person to file. Incumbent Mark Selix did not run for re-election. Office 1 covers central and south Enid.

Several other races shape up in Garfield County.

Louie Blough and David Bradford will face each other for the Garber Office 4 seat.

Michael Parrish and Paula Olmstead will compete for the Kremlin-Hillsdale Office 4 seat, and John C. Otto and Elaine E. Epps will face off for the Drummond Office 4 seat.

Brenda Moody, Justin Lamunyon and Darla Eckhardt will compete for the Waukomis Office 4 seat.

Others who automatically will win seats because they drew no opposition were: Gene Knouse, Covington-Douglas Office 4; Kyle Hohmann, Autry Technology Center; Jack R. Kehnemund, Chisholm Office 4; and Clee Jay Hedges, Pioneer-Pleasant Vale Office 4.

Garfield County Election Board Secretary Lue Ann Root said no one from Garfield County filed for open school board seats in the Billings, Cimarron, Henneseey, Mulhall-Orlando, Pond Creek-Hunter and Timber-lake districts. Those districts include portions of Garfield County, as well as other counties.
