Stephanie Holloway is challenging current USD 475 Board of Education President LaDonna Junghans for election to the unexpired two year term.

“I am passionate about working with children, families, educators and community members,” said Holloway. “I am committed to making USD 475 a place where every student is valued and successful, every staff member is supported and appreciated, and every family and community member can have a voice that is heard.”

Holloway, a resident of Junction City works as a social worker. She is married with two children and is a past Military spouse.

The two year unexpired term vacancy was created with the early departure of former Board member Kim Milleson upon her relocation to Florida. Bill Brooks was appointed to fill that seat in her absence. Brooks is now seeking a regular four year term.

Other candidates running for the Board of Education include Sarah Talley, Larry Young, David Walker and Rina Neal.

The filing deadline was noon today. All candidates will be on the November general election ballot.
