Trustee openings for local school districts

While the federal primary election calendar has been opened, so have local school elections. Trustee candidates are being allowed to file for election in the respective school districts for which they reside.

Last week Joy Price was incorrectly listed as the clerk for School District #1. Megan Stephens is the clerk and can be reached by calling (406) 767-5674. The position open for School District #1 is currently held by Heather Brownfield and will be a three-year term.

Lane Pilster’s term will be up in School District #56. Interested individuals for that three-year position may contact Alicia Olson, (406) 828-4554.

School District #15 offers two positions for three-year terms. Those are currently held by Cassidy Jesperson and Jeff Elmore. A two-year term for High School District #2 is also open. Interested individuals may contact Lora Tauck at (406) 775-8767.

Declaration of Intent and Oath of Candidacy documents for trustee candidates may be obtained from any of the school district clerks or by contacting Carter County Clerk and Recorder Pamela J. Castleberry at (406) 775-8749. The documents will need to be notarized and are due to the office no later than March 29, 2018.
