FRISCO \u2014 Summit School District\u2019s board of education has four new directors after Tuesday\u2019s election. The Summit Daily News reported late Tuesday that preliminary results showed Gini Bradley and Chris Alleman winning directorships with the latest vote count showing them earning 2,846 and 2,615 votes, respectively.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the unofficial results showed Consuelo Redhorse and Gloria Quintero winning the other two director seats, with 2,351 and 2,159 votes, respectively. Former education administrator Tim Westerberg was in a close fifth place, with 1,959 votes.<\/p>\n

Alleman, Redhorse and Quintero all had received endorsements from the local teachers union, the Summit County Education Association. The only association-endorsed candidate to not be elected was Emily Lutke, who had a sixth place showing with 1,716 votes.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Redhorse said she felt great about being elected to the school board, having been part of the community for a long time and following her daughter\u2019s education from preschool on. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really excited,\u201d Redhorse said. \u201cThere is so much business that must be taken care of on the board. My big priority that I\u2019m most excited working toward is continuing conversations with the teachers and making sure we can retain them and provide them the support they need. They\u2019re the first line of support who see the students every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quintero did not respond to requests for comment. In a Summit Daily column about her candidacy, she laid out her education and experience in social work and public health, along with her passion and commitment to work for Summit\u2019s working families. Quintero also positioned herself as the candidate best representing Summit\u2019s Hispanic residents.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am running for school board because I want to be a megaphone for minorities,\u201d Quintero said at an October election forum<\/a>. \u201cLatinos make up 15% of our community, but when was the last time there was a Latino on our school board? \u2026 I\u2019m hoping that my involvement will empower more parents to get involved in their children\u2019s education \u2026 I believe parents will be more involved when they feel represented.\u201d<\/p>\n
