The Southern Door School District has certified the results of the April 7 school board election, with three candidates elected to serve on the Board of Education.

According to results finalized April 13, incumbent board president Kim M. Starr was re-elected with 2,281 votes. Registered write-in candidate Luke Spude received 779 votes, followed by Kristin Tassoul with 612 votes. The race included multiple registered and write-in candidates who collectively drew more than 2,500 votes.

Spude and Tassoul have accepted their positions and will join Starr in taking the oath of office at the board’s April 20 meeting.

The election came the same day district voters rejected an operational referendum that would have allowed the district to exceed state revenue limits by $3.15 million annually for three years. The measure failed, leaving officials to address a potential funding gap as the current referendum expires in June 2026.

Officials thanked voters and the Board of Canvassers for completing the certification process and said the newly elected board will help guide the district through upcoming financial and operational decisions.
