Jane Barr was re-elected to the Noblesville School and will be joined by newcomers Gary Duvall and Donna Clark, who replace the at-large seats of Chris Hamm and Lori Cain.
“I’m excited. I think there is a lot of unfinished business to discuss in the next four years. I’m thrilled to be a part of it,” Barr said.
The Noblesville School Board race included eight candidates, with Barr being the only one running for re-election.
“I think it’s fabulous that people are interested in serving,” she said. “I was surprised there was that much interest.”
Barr led the way with 10,090 votes (19.55 percent) and only 116 votes separated Duvall and Clark – 8,279 (16.04 percent) and 8,163 (15.81 percent) respectively.
“I’m very excited,” said Clark. “I just feel education is one of the most important things we do for our children.”
“I want to thank everyone that helped me,” added Duvall. “I walked 37 and a half hours to houses saying what we can do to make the schools better. We need to be more accountable.”
