St. Anthony–New Brighton board certifies Nov. 4 election, names winners
Summary
At a Nov. 13 special meeting the St. Anthony–New Brighton School Board unanimously approved a resolution canvassing Nov. 4 election returns and declared Annie Bosmans, Laura Haas and Prachi Striker elected to four-year terms and Daniel Turner elected to the special-term seat.
The St. Anthony–New Brighton School Board (Independent School District 282) unanimously approved a resolution canvassing the Nov. 4, 2025 school district general and special election at a special meeting on Nov. 13, 2025.
The board recorded the results shown in the canvass: Annie Bosmans 1,545 votes; Laura Haas 1,578 votes; Prachi Striker 1,551 votes; write-ins 121 for the three four-year seats. In the special election to fill a term expiring Jan. 3, 2028, the transcript lists Daniel Turner with 1,152 votes and Michael Overman with 915 votes. The board found the elections "duly and legally called and held" and declared the highest vote recipients elected.
The motion to approve the resolution canvassing returns was made by Michael (Mike) Overman and seconded by Laura Oksnevad; the record shows the motion carried unanimously (Yea: 6, Nay: 0). The transcript indicates that the newly elected trustees’ four-year terms begin the first Monday in January 2026 and that the special-election winner will take office as soon as the individual qualifies.
The transcript lists board members as present at the meeting and includes Superintendent Renee Corneille among staff in attendance. The minutes show the board will certify the results to county auditors and that the clerk is directed to deliver certificates of election after the time for contesting the election has passed and required campaign finance reports are filed.
Note on names and transcript ambiguity: the attendance list records "Mike Overman" as present and the special-election totals list "Michael Overman" with 915 votes; the record does not clarify whether those entries refer to the same person. Similarly, the attendance list shows PJ Striker present while the canvass lists Prachi Striker as a successful candidate; the transcript does not explicitly reconcile the two spellings or indicate whether they are the same individual.
