Two candidates have filed for the Knoxville School Board special election.  The two candidates that have filed so far are Dylan Mick and Tony Rider. This special election is to fill a vacancy after the resignation of former school board member Susan Swartzendruber. At the Knoxville School Board meeting held on May 27th, a petition was presented to the board with 478 signatures to request the special election. At that same meeting, the board interviewed two interested candidates to fill the vacancy by appointment, but two separate appointment motions by the board failed. The filing officer for this election is District Business Manager Craig Mobley and the deadline to file is Friday at 5:00 pm.
