Two-weeks after the City/School Elections, the Cass County Board of Supervisors will canvass the results of the City/School Elections Tuesday, with the focus on the School Elections. The results will include the previously unavailable tallies for school districts lying in more than one county. Unofficial results that followed the Nov. 5th election, showed that in Cass County, Incumbent Jenny Williams, and candidates Nicholas Hunt along with Laura McLean were elected to the Atlantic School Board. The votes totals among the five candidates running for three seats on the Board could change, especially with regard to a tight race between McLean and Benjamin Winford. The initial results showed McLean had a seven-vote lead over Winford. The canvass takes place following adjournment of the regular board meeting that begins at 9-a.m. Tuesday, in the basement meeting room of the Cass County Courthouse.

In other business, during their regular meeting, the Cass County Board of Supervisors will act on an Interim Engineer duties agreement, and discuss a Post-Election Audit Report, with regard to confirmation that election equipment accurately counted the votes on Election Day. The Audit Board hand-counts votes using machine-count standards, according to County Auditor Dale Sunderman.
