opinions and things they standfor. That is fine. That is why wehave an election, to get our opin-ions out there. The voters canalign with somebody and electthe best person. It takes a lot forsomeone to get up there and run.I feel Yankton is very fortunatethat we had five people who werewilling to run for School Board.You look at other local elections,there is hardly anyone who

wants to get up there and putthere name out there for what-ever reason.”

Saying he ran for SchoolBoard to help maintain the op-portunities in the Yankton SchoolDistrict for its current and futurestudents, Pietz knows there is alot of work ahead.

“I think the first thing I amgoing to have to do is really digin and learn about the innerworking of the School Board,” hesaid. “I have been going to themeetings since 2010, but that isjust going to meetings and seeinghow the board works in the pub-lic. There are a lot of things that

go on as well with committeesand stuff like that, (that) I amgoing to have to get involvedwith. I am really going to be ingathering mode in order to makegood decisions.”

This will be Greeneway’s sec-ond term on the board and thefirst for Pietz, who also ran lastyear.

“I am very excited,” Pietz said.“My goal this year was to getmore votes than last year and Iachieved that goal. I am happywith that. I want to thank every-one who came out and voted. Iam going to do the best possiblejob I can and hopefully continue

the Yankton School District thebest I can. I want to work to seethat the district is seen in thebest possible light and that wehave the best opportunities forour students.”

Both said they were verygrateful for everyone who votedTuesday, but now it is time to getto work.

“There is a job to do and weneed to do the best possible jobfor our students,” said Pietz.
