MITCHELL — The race for the one seat coming open on the Mitchell Board of Education is set, according to officials with the Mitchell School District.
Administrators with the Mitchell School District confirmed Wednesday morning that Deb Everson will face off against Matt Christiansen for the seat Christiansen currently holds on the five-person board of education. They were the only two people to take out and return valid nominating petitions for the position.
It is the lone seat up for election this year on the board. Seats on the Mitchell Board of Education are at-large bids and are for three-year terms.
Attention will now turn to the Mitchell School District voters, who will decide between the two candidates at the joint city and school election, which is scheduled to be held Tuesday, June 6. District voters will also decide on a $17 million bond issue that would be used to help complete the athletics facilities portion of the new Mitchell High School building project at that election.
The bond issue vote requires a 60% majority for approval.
