State Representative Dr. John Eplee

(KAIR)--A current school board member for Atchison's USD 409 has decided to seek re-election.

Atchison County Clerk Michelle Phillips confirms that Dr. John Eplee has filed for another term on the school board.

He is currently serving his second term in that position.

Eplee also serves as the 63rd District Kansas House Representative.

Phillips says his seeking to continue serving on the school board is not considered a conflict of interest by the State of Kansas.

Eplee so far is the only candidate to file for the November election.

The filing deadline is noon June 1.

The November 7 General Election will include school boards and city government.

That follows a change previously approved by the Kansas Legislature which moved the elections to the fall from the spring, when they were traditionally held.

Locally, the elections will include four seats on the USD 409 Board of Education and three on the USD 377 Board of Education.

Three positions are also up for election on the Atchison City Commission.

If a primary election is necessary, it will be held August 1.
