To be decided by vote on September 12 will be one seat in Director District 1 (which is the north part of the West Fork Community School District), one seat in Director District 2 (which is the south part of the district) and one Director At-Large seat. All of the open seats are four-year terms.
Filing to enter the school election ran from July 10-August 3.
