MITCHELL — Jeff Sand has returned his nominating petitions to run for the Mitchell Board of Education, according to officials with the Mitchell School District.
Mitchell School District officials confirmed Thursday that Sand had dropped off his petition at the school business office, which makes him the fourth individual to officially be on the ballot for the 2022 election. Deb Olson, Tim Moon and Terry Aslesen have also already filed nominating petitions to run.
There are two seats on the five-member board up for election in 2022 - the seat currently held by Olson and the one held by Kevin Kenkel, who has stated he would not be seeking another term on the board when his current term expires. Both seats are at-large bids, meaning those who file nominating petitions will vie for the same two seats, with the two candidates who receive the most votes filling the positions.
The other three seats are currently held by board members Shawn Ruml, Brittni Flood and Matt Christiansen.
All seats on the board are three-year terms.
