Sylvia Shepler, the longest-serving member of the Hamilton Southeastern School Board, has chosen not to seek re-election.  At the noon filing deadline on August 21st, Shepler was not on the list of candidates.  She has been the at-large board member from Wayne Township.  She began serving on the board in January of 2000.

Two incumbents will be on the November ballot – Amanda Shera in Delaware Township and Clint Wilson in Fall Creek Township.  Shera was elected to the board four years ago and Wilson was appointed by the board to complete the term of Mike Bottorff, who resigned his seat in late May of 2019.

The at-large election works for HSE School Board this way – there are three seats up for election, one in each of the three townships comprising the school district.  Candidates must reside within the township where they are running.  The entire school district votes on all three township seats.

I have been asked by several people locally whether I will continue the tradition of recording podcasts with all the school board candidates.  Since there are 11 total candidates running, it would be a monumental task to produce so many podcasts.  I am also trying to reduce my work load.  As a result, I am sorry to say there will be no candidate podcasts by me in this election cycle.
