The CNE School Board has three open seats this election, with three incumbents seeking to remain seated on the board against a single challenger.

Hoping to remain are Jayne Mummert, Patricia Spencer and Mike Freeman, while challenger Danny Ilhardt is hoping to become a new member of the board of education.

Mummert, who is finishing her first term on the board, has lived in the CNE district for 35 years and is a graduate of the school district she now helps lead. According to Mummert, she hopes to continue work in the district that was started when she first took office four years ago.
