Oak Harbor Public Schools would like to congratulate the school board members elected to serve another term and newly-elected member Josh MacLean, who will soon be joining the School Board of Directors.  
All five board member seats were up for election during an unprecedented election cycle. Out of the five, four of those elected are returning board members, and one new school board member was elected.

Board President Lynn Goebel was re-elected to position 1, Vice President Jessica Aws was re-elected to position 2, Legislative Representative Director Nicole Tesch was elected to position 4, and Director Sharon Jensen was elected to position 5.  Josh MacLean was elected to fill position 3, vacated by Director Robert Hallahan who chose not to run for re-election. Director Tesch and Director Jensen were elected to complete partial two-year terms because of their recent appointment to the Board of Directors, while President Goebel, Vice President Aws, and newly-elected Director MacLean were elected to full four-year terms.

“We want to express our gratitude for all candidates who participated in this election and their interest in serving the children of Oak Harbor. We are grateful to our voters who took the time to cast their ballots in this important election,” said Superintendent Michelle Kuss-Cybula, Ed.D., “Your continued engagement and involvement in our schools will help shape the future of Oak Harbor for years to come. We are excited to welcome our newest board member to the team.”

The election results were certified and final on November 28 and the new and returning board members will be sworn in at the December 11, 2023, School Board Meeting.
