The three Crookston School Board incumbents up for election all finished in the top three spots and won reelection by a sizable margin on Tuesday night. Tim Dufault, a Crookston area farmer, led the way with 2,038 votes. Adrianne Winger, a teacher in Climax and Crookston Treasurettes Coach, was second with 1,588 votes. Patty Dillabough, Golden Link Senior Center Director, was third with 1,570 votes.
KROX talked with Dufault Tuesday night during the election coverage and he was thankful for all the votes. “The whole school board, all six of us, and the administration have been working really hard and doing a good job, very cohesive group and it is reflective on how the vote went,” said Dufault who added he has two top priorities. “Obviously, the bus garage. It is over a 100-year-old facility and it is outdated, small, unsafe for the workers and we have to spend more money on buses and I would like to see us get back into the vocational agriculture part of the schooling. We have Travis Oliver working on his Ag ed degree and good things are in store for the school district.”
