Vigo school board members seek re-election

Staff report
The Tribune-Star

TERRE HAUTE Three current Vigo County School Board members plan to ask voters for another term on the board in the Nov. 4 general election.

Mel Burks and Jackie Lower are running in District 1, while Paul Lockhart is running in District 3.

The first day of filing was July 23, and the deadline is noon Friday.

Three seats are up for election, two in District 1 (Harrison Township) as well as the District 3 seat (Otter Creek/Nevins Townships).

So far, only one other person has filed — Larry M. Faulkner, who is running in District 1.

Those who run for School Board must be at least 21; a resident of Vigo County and the district they want to run in for at least one year; and an Indiana resident for the last two years.

School Board members are elected at large by voters throughout the county. They are paid $2,000 a year.

Burks is seeking his fourth term, and Lockhart is seeking a second consecutive term, although he previously served on the School Board from 1983 through 1994.

In May 2005, Lower was nominated by the School Board to finish the term of her late husband, Jack Lower, who died after serving only 41⁄2 months on the board.
