Voters elected Rachel Gronwald to another term on the McAlester Public Schools Board of Education.
The McAlester small business owner received 227 votes to 123 votes for challenger Sophia Collins-West as MPS voters picked Gronwald to remain in the school board No. 1 office during the April 6 elections. After the unofficial votes were announced Tuesday night, Gronwald thanked voters and shared her hope to move forward.
âIâm super grateful for the time that Iâve been able to serve on the school board and Iâm really excited to continue to move forward past the pandemic era,â Gronwald said.
Gronwald graduated from McAlester High School in 2006 and went to the University of Arkansas before returning to McAlester nearly a decade ago with her husband, Adam, who is a 2007 MHS graduate. The two have children attending McAlester schools and are small business owners.
