Election brings no changes to board of education



By WILL MORROW
Morris News Service - Alaska

Marty Anderson, running to represent Sterling and Funny River on the school board, has retained his seat, according to unofficial election results posted Tuesday night. Anderson, who led challenger Marilyn Pawluk by 14 votes, 405 to 391, said he would wait until the absentee votes were counted before declaring victory in the Seat 5 race.

“If I do win, that’s great. I’m excited about serving three more years. But I want to congratulate Marilyn as well to stand up and make that investment,” Anderson said.

Pawluk said as a parent she will continue to be active in schools but didn’t know if she would run again for a school board seat. She said she hopes the school board will address the need for more career and technical education opportunities, an issue she raised during the campaign.      

Also retaining their seats on the school board were Bill Hatch, representing Kenai, and Liz Downing, representing Homer. Both were elected to three-year terms. Lynn Hohl was elected to a one-year term representing the eastern peninsula.

Hatch, Downing and Hohl all were running uncontested.
