Three seats on the Pueblo City Schools Board of Education were up for general election on November 3, 2015.[1]
The at-large seats of incumbents Mike Colucci, Kathy DeNiro and Rose Holloway were on the ballot.[2] DeNiro could not run for re-election due to term limits, and Holloway did not file to run for another term. This guaranteed at least two newcomers would join the board. In his bid for re-election, Colucci faced eight challengers: Inga Burbank, Barb Clementi, Bobby Gonzales, Kelly Hibler, Frank Latino, Ginger Maggrett, Rod Ortiz and Kelly Roy Wyatt.[3] Burbank resigned her candidacy on August 28, 2015.[4] Newcomers Clementi, Gonzales and Latino won election to the seats.
