WAUSAU — This year five candidates will vie for three seats in April on the nine-person Wausau School District Board of Education.
The list includes three incumbents: Beth Martin, Patrick McKee and Kathi Whalen Geiger. Two newcomers have also emerged: Amy Reif and Tricia Zunker, according to school officials.
Name placement on the ballot will be determined when school officials draw lots, which will happen at 10 a.m. on Jan. 8, said Deputy Clerk Cassie Peck. A primary would have only been necessary had there been two candidates for each open spot.
The three candidates elected will serve three-year terms, beginning April 23.
The spring election will be held on Tuesday, April 3.
