Filing for Place 3 on the Pittsburg Independent School District board of trustees continued through March 11. Three signed up to run for the position, Dr. Shannon Cox-Kelley, Chris Lummus and Greg Miller. This will be a two-year term to fill the position held by Sarah Johns who resigned at the Feb. 18 meeting.
These three names will be added to the May 11 ballot which includes seven people seeking Places 4, 6 and 7.
Dr. Dan Kincaid is unopposed in Place 4. This is a two-year term that was vacated when Jeff Antwine moved from the district.
Andy Stormer filed to run against the incumbent in Place 6, Jerral Walker.
Place 7 drew four contestants, including Danny Carey, Brent Doddy, Carmen Mitchell and Vernon Rowe.
The election will be held May 11 at the cafetorium on Fulton Street. Early voting begins April 29.
Also on the ballot will be a $9.09 million school bond.
City residents can vote on an amendment to the city’s Home Rule Charter. Voting in this election will also be held at the cafetorium on May 11.
