Haskins Wins School, Select Board Seats
CLARKSBURG, Mass. — Voters put Daniel Haskins back on the Select Board and also on the School Committee on Tuesday.
Some 60 voters turned out for the low-key election at the Community Center that had no races on the ballot.
Haskins was on the ballot for a second full term on the Select Board. He'd indicated he'd serve on the School Committee if elected, and polled 19 write-in votes to do so.
Laura Wood, School Committee chair, declined to put her name on the ballot for a third term but did poll eight write-in votes.
This isn't the first time someone has done double duty on arguably the town's two most important boards. Jeffrey Levanos first ran for School Committee in 2008 and then for Select Board in 2012. At one point, he was chair of both boards.
Also winning on a write-in was Richard Lefebvre, who earned two votes — beating four other candidates who got one each — for Board of Health. It's not clear if Lefebvre wants or will accept the seat.
Daniel Tanner was elected to Planning Board and incumbents Sarah Hurlbut and Joseph Bushika won re-election to the library trustees and War Memorial Committee, respectively.
