Sylvia Shepler, the longest-serving member of the Hamilton Southeastern school board, has chosen not to seek re-election.
Shepler
At the noon filing deadline on Friday, Shepler was not on the list of candidates. She has been the at-large board member from Wayne Township. She began serving on the board in January 2000.
Two incumbents will be on the November ballot: Amanda Shera in Delaware Township and Clint Wilson in Fall Creek Township. Shera was elected to the board four years ago and Wilson was appointed by the board to complete the term of Mike Bottorff, who resigned his seat in late May 2019.
The at-large election works for HSE school board this way: There are three seats up for election, one in each of the three townships comprising the school district. Candidates must reside within the township where they are running. The entire school district votes on all three township seats.
