MASON CITY – Jodi Draper is the top vote-getter in the Mason City school board election, while Alan Steckman and Jacob Lee Schweitzer also take seats.
Board President Janna Arndt and Richard Haas finished out of the running.
It seems voters agreed with Draper’s pursuit of an audit of school district finances after it was uncovered that there has been possible wrong-doing by administrators at top levels. More audits appear to be in the works, and many citizens are eagerly waiting to see who may be drawn into the drama – and what the possible repercussions might be if laws were broken.
One Mason City voter told NIT “I’m just glad we have someone in there that knows the numbers, can understand finances, and had the guts to go after people who might have been sticking their mitts in the cookie jar. That’s a rare combination, right there, Jodi has.”
