COLFAX — The Colfax Board of Education has re-elected Todd Kragness as president and Andrew De Moe as clerk.
Ken Neuburg, who is vice-president of the school board and was not up for election this year, administered the oath of office to Kragness and De Moe at the school board’s organizational meeting April 25.
