Two school board candidates found ineligible
December 17, 2021
There will not be a school election for any of the three Woods County school districts in 2022. Holly Blevins of the Woods County Election Board reports that the hearing on contested candidates for Alva found two of those filing ineligible.
Jane McDermott filed contests of candidacy against Lance Heaton and Ryan Beiswanger last week. A hearing was held Wednesday at the courthouse. Beiswanger did not attend. It was determined that Heaton resides just outside the area where he needed to live to be eligible for Seat 2 on the Alva School Board.
That left McDermott, the current Seat 2 board member, as the only qualified candidate, which means no election will be needed.
