Geary County Clerk Rebecca Nordyke said Wednesday that Jim Schmidt has filed for election to the UD 475 Board of Education. Schmidt will be seeking a four-year term on the board.

Schmidt was first appointed to the board last June to fill the vacancy following the resignation of Dr. Ferrell Miller.

Four seats on the Boe will be up for election in November. The other seats are currently held by Tom Brungardt, LaDonna Junghans and Anwar Khoury. Nordyke confirmed the filing deadline for the election is June 3rd at noon.
