New school board member elected
Ruthie McKenzie holds on to parks board seat after facing challenger Joe Becker
Local voters determined who would serve on multiple special district boards in Crook County during last Tuesday s election.
Most candidates ran unopposed, although two people were vying for a single spot on the Crook County Parks and Recreation District Board. Joe Becker was running against incumbent Ruthie McKenzie, who ended up winning another term with 52.89% of the vote. Other incumbents retaining their seats on the parks district board included Darlene Henderson and Barbara Punch.
Two incumbents, Scott Cooper and Gwen Carr, won another term on the Crook County School Board, but the board will gain one new member. Jessica Ritter ran unopposed to fill a vacancy left when Walt Wagner resigned from his position in March.
The election has drawn a slate of candidates opposed to comprehensive sexuality education.
In October 2019, the Hillsboro school board in Washington County unanimously adopted a comprehensive sexuality education curriculum.
While the vote had no dissenters, the topic was anything but uncontroversial. The curriculum was approved at the conclusion of a more-than-three-hour meeting that drew hundreds of attendees. Some who addressed the board during the meeting expressed strong support for the curriculum. Others implored the school board not to support it, citing explicit and inappropriate course materials and lesson plans.
With the curriculum up for review every two years, Hillsboro Online Academy student Ceph Tronco is worried the next school board will side with the critics next time.
