Allan said he feels the board has done a lot of positive things and "there is still unfinished business. But we are getting a lot of education in Nebo District for the dollars we are spending." Dunn, who had resigned from his school board seat last September said, he had filed to run against Allan because no candidate should run unopposed. Dunn resigned his seat when he changed residence and moved out of his precinct. In his campaign, Allan stated he felt the current bonding and renovation program was good for the district. He thought strategic planning had provided an important growth in outlining current and future goals. Westwood said she felt humble after the election, but appreciated the vote of confidence from local voters. Gordon, a maintenance supervisor for the LDS Church, was not available by telephone this morning but said during his campaign he was pleased with the direction the district was going and felt strategic planning was important. 3,-2- Three new faces capture Alpine school board seats Herald Staff Writer - vev. ot 57. m - vey's "We both worked really hard and it was a good clean campaign," she added.

Only two incumbents were among 22 candidates for 1 1 open seats. The other four slots on the policy setting and enforcing board, which lawmakers increased to 15 members last February, face voters in 1994.
