Former city alderman Don Carlson will not run for a second term as a member on the Greenfield School Board in April.
Carlson, an active community member who attends countless school and community activities, filed his non-candidacy papers this week.
"I will continue to serve the students and taxpayers of the Greenfield School District for the next four months and plan to remain actively involved in the community — city and school district — for many years to come," Carlson wrote in an email to Greenfield Patch on Thursday.
Carlson's seat is one of two that will be available in April. Rick Moze, who was reappointed to the board this summer, is also up for re-election. He has not yet decided whether or not to run again.
No other candidates have emerged in the race. Residents have until 5 p.m. Jan. 2, to declare their candidacy.
In the Whitnall School District where there are also two seats available, no candidates, including incumbents Richard Kollauf and Stephanie Richter, have entered the race as of Friday morning.

Very sorry to see a great board member who always had a balance between our students and taxpayers at heart. He will be missed.
