Two school board seats on the Whitehall Board of Education will be up for election in 2019. The seats of members Carrieanne Arquette and Roxanne Waters expire. Petitions of those seeking these seats must be returned to the district clerk by April 22th no later than 5:00 pm. To run, a person needs to be 18 years old by May 15th, must have resided in the school district for at least a year, and must submit a petition signed by twenty-five eligible voters.
The election will be held on Tuesday, May 21st. Both seats are for three-year terms.
I will be covering these contests and will be sending out questionnaires to all those who enter the race. Stay tuned.
