Local school district board races: Who’s running, and what they believe

On April 17, Jefferson County will mail ballots to voters in Jefferson High School District No. 1 and Montana City School District No. 27. Up for vote in the former is one at-large trustee position with a three-year-term; in the latter, one trustee position with a three-year-term. The Monitor asked each of the four candidates to supply a short biography and a statement that addressed their positions on key issues and their reasons for seeking election. Their responses have been edited for length or clarity.
