Bruner

Matthew Bruner has filed paperwork to seek another term on the Flat Rock-Hawcreek School Corp. school board.

Bruner, who is currently the school board vice president, filed a petition to be the Hawcreek District representative, according to records with the Bartholomew County Clerk’s Office.

Bruner is currently running unopposed and is the first person to file to run for either of the two seats on the Flatrock-Hawcreek School Corp. School board that are up for election this year. The seat currently held Brian Rose also is open for filing.

Additionally, three BCSC School Board seats are up for election this fall, including the District 3, 5 and 7 seats.

So far, Turning Point Domestic Violence Services President Whittney Loyd and local finance and accounting executive David Theile have filed to run for the Bartholomew Consolidated School Corp. School Board District 3 seat.

District 3 incumbent Todd Grimes has said he will not seek reelection.

District 7 incumbent and current school board president Nicole Wheeldon is seeking reelection and will face challenger Samantha Ison for the seat.

Tom Glick and Leigh W. Britt have filed to run for the District 5 seat. Pat Bryant currently holds the seat but is not seeking reelection.

The filing period ends June 20, according to the Bartholomew County Clerk’s Office. People who are interested in running for a school board seat must file a petition of nomination with 10 signatures of registered voters.

For the BCSC School Board, the signatures can come from any registered voter in the BCSC school district, while for Flat Rock-Haw Creek, the signatures must come from registered voters in the school board district in which the candidate is running, according to Bartholomew County Clerk Shari Lentz.
