New faces to fill spots on local school districts

There will be new faces on local school boards but not because of contested elections.

Three incumbents ran unopposed for the Bartholomew Consolidated School board and will retain their seats —  Jill Shedd, Rich Stenner and Kathy Dayhoff-Dwyer. Newcomer Julie Bilz also ran unopposed and will be replacing Bob Abrams, who chose not to run for re-election for family reasons.

In the Flat Rock-Hawcreek Schools in northeastern Bartholomew County, incumbents Dr. John Harker and Pat Walters were unopposed for their seats. Newcomer Chad Miller also won election without any opposition.

The Daily Journal in Franklin is reporting that Alice Taulman is winning the race for the at-large seat on the Edinburgh School Board. She is leading over Jason R. Lawson and Angel Emerson-Burkman, although she finished second in the Bartholomew County segment of that school district.
