Stephens led the race with 41.72% of the votes, followed by Dunlap’s 39.73%, and Skavaril received 18.55%, according to the Clark County Board of Elections.
Stephens said she ran for a seat on the board to help the children and families in the community.
“I will help as a parent and a board member,” she said. “I will be a positive presence for the community.”
Stephens has a master’s degree in applied behavioral science. She works as a contractor with the Ohio Army National Guard as a substance abuse prevention coordinator and at Nova Behavioral Health as a behavioral health technician.
Dunlap said she is honored to be re-elected.
“I pledge to serve to the best of my ability to warrant trust, confidence and support from the community. As a board member, I will continue to provide leadership and direction which will result in the best possible educational opportunities and experiences for all of the students and staff of the district,” Dunlap said.
Dunlap retired from the district in 2016 as a high school principal. She has a master’s degree in educational leadership from the University of Dayton and a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from Ohio State University. Her priorities are education, security and social-emotional learning.
Although Skavaril lost, he said this was a fair and open election with three great candidates running for only two open positions.
“I plan to stay active and supportive of SCSD, and supportive of the students, teachers, administration and families in my community. This election was a great learning experience and I have loved sharing this journey with my current social studies students,” he said.
