Steamboat Springs — Denise Connelly won an uncontested race for her District 3 School Board seat Tuesday and will serve a second term. She received 2,749 votes.
Connelly, who taught English and Spanish for 28 years of her 29-year teaching career in Steamboat, said she sought re-election to help the district address future challenges.
"Obviously, the biggest is going to be how the economy and state deficit affects school funding," she said. "Our biggest challenge will be providing kids with the best education with possible limited resources."
She said the School Board would have to see what programs could be cut that wouldn't affect students. Connelly said her goals for her next four years on the board would be to continue the district's accountability measures and engage the community.
