Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) School Board President Julie Chambers had some comments on the election results at Wednesday night’s board session, in which she did not win re-election in her district.

She thanked voters in the HSE District for “coming out and voting” Tuesday.

“I congratulate the candidates that were successful in the school board election,” said Chambers.  “It’s not easy to put yourself out there and work the community.”

She expressed her hope that when the new board takes office in January, the new members “will continue to support our teachers and our students, to uplift everybody and make sure that HSE is the best district there is.”

Superintendent Yvonne Stokes also thanked for voting public for supporting HSE Schools by voting in the board election.

“Kudos to our board members who have served so well and who will be moving on after January, and then, also, I look forward to being able to work with those new board members who will be coming on board (in) January,” said Dr. Stokes.

The three board members seeking re-election were all defeated in their bids for another term and one board member chose not to run for another term.  That means there will be 4 new board members sworn-in during January of 2023.
