However, the results available indicate that Chuck Deters of Teutopolis and Scott Montgomery of Gays have been elected to full six-year terms on the Board. Dr. Nash Naam of Effingham was the third candidate for trustee.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>While Montgomery lives in Coles County, he works in Effingham.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Larry Lilly of Mattoon was the only candidate for an unexpired four-year term on the Board.
