WEYBURN - Only two subdivisions in the Â鶹ÊÓƵ East Cornerstone Public School Division will see any election activity with all other positions filled via acclamation, according to information released by SECPSD returning officer Shelley Toth.
Jim Vermeersch, a veteran board member representing Subdivision 2, that includes Arcola, Carlyle, Manor, Maryfield and Wawota, is being challenged by Velda Weatherald, a former educator and superintendent.
The other challenge is found in Subdivision 5, where incumbent Audrey Trombley, the board chairwoman, is being challenged by Cheryl Lake, a Stoughton district resident. Subdivision 5 includes Fillmore, Stoughton, Midale and Macoun.
Eric McCrimmon, one of the two Estevan City representatives, announced his resignation last month, and that seat has now been taken by Craig McDonald by acclamation.
Kevin Keating is the other Estevan City representative on the public school board. He too is back by acclamation.
The two seats in Weyburn were also acclaimed, and will see the return of Norma Hewitt-Lendrum and Megan Schick as their representatives in the conference room at the first post-election board meeting slated for November 20.
Other board members returning to the table via acclamation include Devona Putland in Subdivision 1 (Rocanville, Wapella, Moosomin); Jim Henderson, Subdivision 3 (Redvers, Carnduff, Carievale); Tami Scott, Subdivision 4 (Lampman, Alameda, Oxbow, Bienfait); and Michelle DeBruyne, Subdivision 6 (Ogema, Pangman, Yellow Grass, Radville, Gladmar, Oungre).
The school board elections are held in conjunction with the municipal elections on Nov. 13. Election details can be found on the SECPSD website under the Board title.
