SCHOOL INCUMBENTS SEEK RE-ELECTION

Cape Girardeau Board of Education incumbents Lyle Davis and Ed Thompson filed for re-election to the board Tuesday, the first day candidates could file.

Davis filed at 8 a.m. and Thompson filed just a few minutes later.

Both candidates had announced last week their plans to seek re-election.

Candidates have until Feb. 4 at 5 p.m. to file at the board of education office, 61 N. Clark.

Two members will be elected for three-year terms at the April 7 election.

School board members must be resident taxpayers of the school district who have resided in Missouri for one year preceding the election, and must be at least 24 years of age.
