The Sallisaw School Board approved at a Monday night meeting a resolution to the Sequoyah County Election Board for the annual school district election.

Office two, held by Mike Daffin, is up for election. The term is five years.

The annual school election filing period will start at 8 a.m. Dec. 4 and will end Dec. 6. The annual election will be held at the regular voting places in the school district on Feb. 13. If a second election is needed, it will be held April 3, according to a school press release.

In other business, the board voted to allow students attending the Indian Capital Technology Center to receive four credits instead of three. In the past, Superintendent Ron Wyrick said, students attending the technology center were required to take the fourth credit at the high school.

The board approved a facility use request by the Sallisaw Chamber of Commerce to use the high school campus for the chamber's Diamond Daze festival in May, and approved a $1 increase in adult admission prices for school activities.

After an executive session, Wyrick said the board employed Natasha Overstreet as a paraprofessional.

After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our website. Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much higher. Letters must include a name and phone number so that we may contact the writer to verify authenticity of the letter. Letters are limited to 500 words and one letter per writer per month is accepted.
