The makeup of the Colorado Springs School District 11 board will mostly stay the same, with three of four incumbents winning Tuesday’s election.

Jan Tanner and Charlie Bobbitt were re-elected to the board, Tom Strand won election to the board after being appointed in January and newcomer Bob Null will join them.

Willie Breazell, the fourth incumbent, was ousted.

Breazell said he lost his seat after one term because of opposition from the teachers union.

“I think it was a union united to get rid of me,” he said Tuesday night, “and they were successful in doing that.”

During his four years on the board, Breazell pushed the district to discuss merit-based bonuses and pay increases.

Bob Null, the newcomer to the board, credited his wife with helping him get elected.

“Running against incumbents is never easy,” he said, but noted he had signs near every D-11 school and name recognition because of involvement in many committees and a previous run for the City Council.

He’s excited to work with others on the board.

“Where we have differences, we’ll just have to arm wrestle and sort it all out,” he said, with a chuckle.

Lewis-Palmer School District 38

There will be two new faces on the Lewis-Palmer School District 38 board.

John Mann and Jeff Cantlebary beat incumbents LouAnn Dekleva and Stephen Plank.

Mann said he sees a message of change from voters, who turned down two incumbents and a mill levy override that would pay to operate the district’s newest high school and help keep teacher pay competitive.

It’s a “message from the voters that we need to do some things differently,” Mann said.

But, he said, all who have sat on the board have worked hard.

The district has had its share of bumps and bruises in the last year.

In December, the board paid $244,000 to then-Superintendent Michael Pomarico to get him to leave after just months on the job, but didn’t tell taxpayers why.

Then came the calls for board President Jes Raintree’s resignation, first from other board members and then from community members. The community members also asked LouAnn Dekleva to resign.

Voters elected only two people Tuesday. The board will appoint someone to fill the third position on the board after Timothy Bains, the sole candidate in his director district, withdrew from the race.
