Ottawa school board race returns to spotlight before March primary
Six candidates seek four four year seats on the Ottawa U S C 290 School Board. Incumbents Alice Jo DeFries and Almeda Edwards face challengers including university professor Jerry Harnden minister Jack Bushman and Ottawa University freshman Jerry Larios. Voters in Ottawa and ten townships will select two years ago veteran Maes as well as another incumbent. The race features emphasis on budgets and communication with the public as candidates push for fiscal prudence and school community involvement.
