School board elections November 5
Minnetonka school board elections
innetonka school district residents can vote to
fill four school board seats at the November
5, 2019, election. Eleven candidates have filed to
run for the open seats: Mark E. Ambrosen, Don
Amorosi, Katie Becker, Sarah Clymer, Kathryn
Gimse, Julie Light, Christine Ritchie, Meghan
Selinger, Trever Thurling, Lisa Wagner and Josh
Wilcox.
Westonka school district elections
On November 5, 2019, Westonka residents
will be asked to vote on a revoke and replace
levy with a tiered payment structure. The district
currently has three voter - approved operating
levies in place, totaling $1,096 per pupil. These
will be replaced with a single, 10 -year levy with a
two -step increase.
If the levy passes, the current levy authority will
increase to $1,446 per pupil for taxes payable 2020
(generating approximately $1 million in additional
revenue) and to $1,926 for taxes payable 2024
(generating an additional $1 million). This will
gradually bring Westonka's per pupil funding closer
to that of neighboring school districts of Orono and
Minnetonka. Learn more on the referendum page:
www. we sto n ka . k 12.mn.us/referendum.
There are four candidates to fill four, four -year
terms on the Westonka School Board: Dave Botts,
Kelle Bowe, Ralph Harrison and Heidi Marty.
To find your election poll location for the school
board election, call your school district, or visit the
online poll finder, https :Hpollfinder.sos.state.mn.us.
School election locations can be different than city
elections.

Change your clocks, change your batteries
hen you are setting your clocks back for the end of daylight savings time November 3, change the batteries
in your smoke alarms. Daylight Savings Time ends November 3, and it's a great time to change batteries
and update alarms. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reported that between 2009 and 2013, three
in five home fire deaths occurred in homes that either did not have smoke alarms or the
alarms did not work. Dead
batteries caused nearly a quarter of smoke alarm failures.
• Every household should have smoke alarms within
-
15 feet of each bedroom and at least one alarm on
x
each floor of the home. } -
• When putting in hard wire alarms make sure they
are interconnected so when one sounds, they all do.
• Change alarm batteries at least twice a year. 10 2
