Voters to elect school, college boards next month

In addition to electing state, county and municipal officials next month, Sheridan County voters will also decide several elections that weren’t on their primary election ballots.

Candidates are on the general election ballots for all three county school districts, the college board and the Sheridan County Conservation District. Also to be decided on Nov. 3 is whether to retain the two district judges that serve Sheridan and Johnson counties.

In Sheridan County School District 1, voters will cast ballots for one Big Horn trustee, one Dayton trustee and one Ranchester trustee. All are for four-year terms.

Five seats are to be filled in Sheridan County School District 2, which is the city of Sheridan and Story Elementary School. Those also are four-year terms, and all the trustees are elected at-large.

In County School District 3, Arvada-Clearmont, three four-year trustee positions are to be filled.

Four at-large trustee positions are to be filled on the Northern Wyoming Community College District board, all for four-year terms, and the Sheridan County Conservation District election is to choose two rural supervisors, also for four years.

Both District Judge John Fenn for Sheridan County and District Judge William Edelman, Sheridan and Johnson counties, are up for retention this year. Fenn was appointed to the court in January 2007 and has since been retained twice.

Edelman was appointed by Governor Matt Mead in July 2012 to fill an unexpired term and retained by voters in 2014 to his current term that expires on Jan. 3 next year.
