2009 School Board election results
Voters
headed to the polls on May 19, 2009, to vote on the district's proposed
2009-10 budget and to elect three candidates to serve on the School
Board.
Voters approved all four propositions in the budget portion of the election. The propositions were:
- Approval of Budget -- 845 yes, 315 no.
- School Bus Purchases -- 808 yes, 310 no.
- Establishment of Capital Improvement Reserve Fund -- 780 yes, 290 no.
- Authorization to Spend Money from a Capital Improvement Reserve Fund -- 742 yes, 284 no.
Three out of a field of six Board candidates won seats:
- Dan Hurley, incumbent, was the top vote recipient with 885.
- Sara Lattin was second with 802, and
- Mary Tucker was third with 700.
 Daniel Hurley |  Sara Lattin |  Mary Tucker |
The
Board delayed releasing these results immediately because it exercised
caution in light of errors that occurred in its 2007 election vote and
there was a problem with one of the voting machines at Southside High
School.
Dan
Hurley, as the candidate with the most votes, has 30 days to take over
the term currently held by Barton Graham. Graham was appointed to serve
out the term previously held by Mary Beth Turner, who resigned last
fall. The other top two winning candidates will begin their terms on
July 1, 2009. All three who were elected will serve through June 30,
2012.
Official election results for the district's School
Budget and Board Candidate vote were declared at the May 20 special
Board Meeting.
