Clear Lake School Board incumbent Deb Betz has announced she will run for election in the Sept. 9 School Election.  
    Betz was first elected in 2007 to fill the one-year board seat created when Theresa Brakke resigned the post.  Betz will be running for a three-year term.
    “This year has been a great learning experience for me.  Quality education remains a huge priority for me, and I would like to continue my service to the community for the next three years,” she said.
    Betz and her husband, David, are the parents of four children and grandparents to Alexis.  Their sons, Drew and Devin, are both Clear Lake High School graduates who reside in the community.  Daughters Dailey and Darby are in the eighth and fifth grades, respectively.
    Thursday, July 31, is the last day for candidates to file nomination papers with the school board secretary.
