The race to represent Zone 2 on the North Wasco County School District 21 school board is down to one. John Fredrick, the incumbent being challenged by Dean McAllister, dropped out of the race May 1.

“I know the issues that face North Wasco County School District 21 and we need board members that can commit time and energy to take on those challenges. I do not currently have that time,” he wrote in a letter to the district.
