Rank defeats Skarlupka; Skarlupka also wins
Incumbent Judy Rank appears to have held onto her seat for another two-year term representing the village of Cecil and town of Washington on the Bonduel School Board.
Rank was being challenged by Kara Skarlupka, who was also running as the unopposed incumbent for the two-year, at-large seat on the board. Skarlupka has said she will accept only one of the seats.
District Administrator Patrick Rau reported that with six out of nine precincts reporting, Rank had won 566 votes to 246 for Skarlupka.
1 incumbent, 2 newcomers win seats on MISD board
Only one incumbent survived the race Tuesday for three seats on the Menominee Indian School Board.
Nicole Fish handily defeated incumbent Chuck Goetsch for an at-large seat, 457-242, according to unofficial results from Menominee County.
Geradette Richmond won a close race again incumbent William Waubanascum for a seat representing Neopit, 352-297.

Eland voters choose refurbishing
Voters in the village of Eland decided Tuesday to refurbish the old Village Hall rather than build a new one.
Faced with two referendum questions, voters decided 64-42 to refurbish the existing Village Hall on Main Street.
A separate question to build a new Village Hall on Pine Street was defeated 60-45.
The old village hall needs to be brought up to code for handicapped accessibility and has a failed septic system, according to Village President James Stoltz. A new roof, furnace and electrical upgrade are also needed, along with other utility improvements.
The referendum questions are advisory, meaning the final decision will still be up to the Village Board.
