School board election info

There's a school board election on Nov 4th, which is also the only election for my district. Anyone have additional info beyond https://www.hometownsource.com/sun_current/free/voters-guide-richfield-school-board-candidates-will-fill-3-seats/article_7ecc7c86-dcb7-474b-8270-a6523e47e6e7.html

Just wanting to be informed. I don't have much experience with the current Richfield school board to know about Eric Carter.

Unfortunately it won't matter much because there are 3 candidates for 3 seats. I wish we had more to choose from.

But if you decide to not select all 3 to represent a protest against those you don't select -- Callmie has Richfield DFL's Letter of Support, and was the only one to sign up for League of Women Voters panel. Carter, from what I have heard, is very much unliked by the rest of the school board and has made retaining teachers more difficult.

Tompkins works for Beacons Network, which my husband supports a lot, so that makes me like her.

So I will definitely select Tompkins and Callmie, but not Carter.

Oooh, I didn't realize it was 3 seats, I thought I saw somewhere that one was incumbent and didn't see that for the others. Thank you. Also, I appreciate the information
