Six candidates will be narrowed to three board members in the Bethel-Tate school system this November, with only one incumbent throwing his hand into the election effort. Incumbent Edward Dyer will contend with newcomers Kathy Adams, Robert Nealan, Brian Woodward, Greg Cole and Mark rose for a seat on the board of education.

Kathy Adams, a long-time volunteer within the system, said that she has experience with the schools as both an insider and outside planner.
