The Hamilton Southeastern Education Association is sponsoring a school board candidate forum Tuesday, October 4th, 7pm, at HSE High School. The forum will be held in the “Little Theater.” It is best to enter the school building using Entrance 2 facing Olio Road.
There are three school board seats up for grabs in the November 8th balloting. This is called an At Large election, with candidates living in their respective townships, but voters throughout the district vote on each township race.
Delaware Township is the only one with no incumbent because current Board President Karen Harmer is not seeking another term. There are four hopefuls seeking this seat: Bradley Jones, Adam Harness, Amanda Shera and Franklin Whelan.
In Fall Creek Township, Howard Stevenson is the incumbent. He was appointed by the board the fill the remainder of Daren Sink’s term when Mr. Sink left Fishers for another position. The other two candidates in this township are Mike Bottorff and J Kent Everett.
In Wayne Township, Sylvia Shepler will be seeking another term on the school board. She has one opponent, Charron Wright.
All candidates have been invited to the forum.
The Hamilton Southeastern Education Association represents teachers in the HSE School District. The association’s president, Janet Chandler, will moderate the forum.
