Morrisville narrows the school board field for November
By Petra Chesner Schlatter; Staff Editor
In the race for Morrisville School Board, seven contenders will be on the ballot in the November election.On the Democratic ticket will be Jack Beck, Damon Miller and David Stoneburner.
On the Republican side will be Brenda J. Worob, Ronald M. Stout and John DeWilde.
John B. Buckman, who had cross-filed and received enough votes on each ticket in the primary election, will run as both a Democrat and Republican in November.
Buckman said he wants "to keep going in the direction we're going as far as keeping the taxes within the people's means so they can afford their homes This year, we're keeping [taxes] at a zero-increase."

Beck said the biggest issue is how the students will be accommodated in terms of where they will go to school. He said there is a "lack of accommodations with closing of one school." The current board, Beck charged "is not taking steps to accommodate the students."
Miller said issues include "our aging infrastructure in our facilities, education and pride in our community It's finding a permanent solution for our housing of students."
He claimed first-and second-grade students have been displaced since the M.R. Reiter explosion.
According to Stoneburner, there should be more communication from the school board with the community. He is concerned about the future of where students will go to school. "Hopefully [the modulars] will go away. Having 4-12th graders in one building is "not what people want."
Stout said his goal is to keep taxes down and test scores up, saying there are problems with scores at the high school. He asserted one problem is "the people who come to the meetings and keep trying to disrupt the meetings." Stout said he is running to "keep people in their homes and still give the kids a good education."
DeWilde and Worob could not be reached for comment.
