A contentious race with opposing slates of candidates has developed for four open seats on the five-member school board in Woodland Park School District RE-2.
The Woodland Park School District Board of Education has appointed a new board director, according to a Tuesday news release.
Misty Leafers was appointed to the board by president Nancy Lecky during a July 22 meeting, the release stated. Leafers will take over as director of District C, a position left vacant when former Vice President Gwynne Dawdy-Pekron resigned from the board in May.
“I look forward to working with (Leafers) and our entire board,” new Superintendent Mathew Neal said in a statement. “Her commitment to kids and our community, along with her talents, will be a great addition.”
Leafers, an attorney who left her law career for the education field, said she is excited to serve the students and families of the district.
