School Board Could Face Changes, but Village Board Goes Unchallenged

Editor's Note: This story was updated with more correct information a 8:25 on Jan. 3.

The Hamilton School Board could soon have a change as a new contender has filed his paperwork to become a member.

Brian Schneider will run against incumbent Lynn Kristensen — who has filed her election papers along with other incumbents Deborah Briggs and Dawn Van Aacken — for the Menomonee Falls seat on the board in the April 3 election. Members of the board are elected for three-year terms and are paid $4,000 annually.

With a on Tuesday at 5 p.m., only Schneider has stepped up to the plate. However, no challengers have presented themselves to snatch the seat from the three Village Board members whose two-year terms have ended.

The three Village Board members are:

• Trustee Matt Cmeyla of the N78W22000 block of N. Coldwater Circle
• Trustee Pat Tetzlaff of the N59W24000 block of Quail Run Lane
• Trustee Bob Zarzynski of the N71W23000 block of Homestead Road

Each trustee has already filed his or her election paperwork, and without a fourth contender, re-election is certain. Trustees on the Village Board are elected for two years and are paid $4,400 annually.
