Three new members sworn into La Crosse's school board

While Alberts and Manka were both on the ballot, Bagniewski was the only write-in candidate elected of the seven who ran.

The board also unanimously chose Juan Jimenez to be the school board president.

This will be Jimenez's third term as president. He most recently served in the role during the 2022-23 term.

Jimenez takes over the role from former President Annie Baumann's, whose school board term ended this April. She did not seek reelection to the board.

Members also elected Deb Suchla as the board's vice president. She steps in for Brad Quarberg, who also didn't seek reelection to the board this year.
