COUNTY CLERK CALLS SPECIAL ELECTION TO FILL SCHOOL BOARD SEAT
 |
| Mark Young |
Mark Young will be the only candidate on the ballot in a special election to fill the Covington School Board seat vacated by Denise Varney August 2. While Covington Independent Public Schools and its Board were anticipating an appointment to fulfill the remaining two years of Varney's term, Young cited a state statute that requires a special election if more than a year is left in the term. Brandon Voelker, the attorney representing Young, tells The River City News that he spoke with Kenton County Clerk Gabrielle Summer Wednesday and was assured that Young will appear on the November ballot. Voelker had threatened to sue on Young's behalf had the special election been denied. The special election will happen the same day as the regular elections, November 6. Expect more on this story.
