Michell Fullhart, the incumbent school board member in District 3, has announced officially she will be seeking another 4-year term

Frank Whelan, an unsuccessful candidate two years ago, will try again, this time running in District 2, currently represented by John DeLucia.  Board member Delucia has  made it clear he will not be a candidate for re-election.

With Matt Burke leaning toward not running for another term, there could be as many as 3 open seats in this year’s school board balloting.
