Area voters pass school levies

Voters in all three Fergus County school districts that ran general fund levy elections this week passed the levies, according to Fergus County Schools Superintendent Rhonda Long.

Moore School District’s election passed a levy of $17,703.91 or 4.81 mills by a vote of 46 for and 7 against.

Roy School District’s levy of $30,000, or 31.02 mills, passed by a margin of 54 to 10.

Winifred School District passed a $15,000 levy (10.80 mills) passed by a vote of 41 for and 22 against.

Lewistown’s School District #1 did not run a levy at this time, and its three open positions on the

School Board were filled by acclamation because only three individuals filed as candidates. They include incumbents Becky Jackson and Jennifer Granot and new trustee Stan Monger.

In Judith Basin County, the Hobson School District voted in incumbent Misty Kriskovich as school trustee for a three-year term. Unofficial results showed Kriskovich with 117 votes to Darrell J. Stevenson’s 70 votes. Hobson did not run a levy.

The Stanford School District #12 election was a mail ballot this year, including only a school levy, which passed with an unofficial count of 214 votes for the proposition and 113 against it. Because two candidates filed for the two positions on the Stanford School Board, those who filed, incumbents Doreen Caquelin and John Gee, were re-elected by acclamation.

The Judith Gap High School voting district includes balloters in more than one location. A total of 38 voters passed an additional levy for the operation and maintenance of Judith Gap High School in the amount of #37,287.51, which is approximately 11.16 mills. In Wheatland County, the vote was 24 for and 12 against. Judith Basin County votes were zero for and two against.

The levy passed in Moore by a vote of six for, zero against.

In the Judith Basin Rural Fire District election, which was mail ballot, three candidates had filed for two positions: Bob Reilly, Rod Merrill and Ken Annala. The unofficial results give Reilly 219 votes, Merrill 184 votes and Annala 186 votes.

The Hobson Rural Fire District had two available positions, with Clinton Dahlhausen and Les Swanson filing for these seats. They were elected by acclamation.
