Hedrick, Herburger win school board seats

Incumbent Sisters School Board chairman Don Hedrick returns to Position 1 on the Sisters School Board with a resounding mandate.

At the most recent reporting from the Deschutes County Clerk's Office, Hedrick had 1,259 votes or 79 percent to win the seat contested by Erik Pronold and Dave Marlow.

Sisters businessman Melvin Herburger took Position 3 with 57 percent of the vote in the only other contested race. Edie Jones secured 42.5 percent of the vote.

The other two races are uncontested. Kay Grady will return to the board, as will Justin Durham.
