Incumbent Scott Walter and new trustee Tiffany Richardson have won three-year terms on the East Helena school board, according to election results released Wednesday morning.
This outcome signals a shift for the five-member board, as newcomer Richardson replaces Marcia Ellermeyer, who has been an East Helena trustee for more than two decades. In the final count, Walter led with 1,133 ballots, followed by Richardson with 985, and Ellermeyer with 857.
“The hard part has just begun,” Richardson said of the learning curve of serving on the school board. She said her initial agenda was to listen, learn and begin to find her niche.
