Voters in the Canute school district will have a choice between Chris Kirk and Dustin DeGarmo.

Filing unopposed for Burns Flat- Dill City Seat #5 was Jill Birdwell. Sentinel Schools also had a single candidate, Bryan Nichols, who filed his candidacy for Seat #5, and Western Technology Center’s Seat #5 will go to Rudy J. Mayfield.
