The East Windsor Regional School District has announced it has information available for citizens interested in running for a seat on the board of education.
The East Windsor Regional School District Board of Education will have three seats up for election in the April 27 Annual School Election.
One of the vacancies will be filled by a resident of East Windsor Township and two vacancies will be filled by residents of the Borough of Hightstown. All three vacancies are for full three year terms.
Candidates must file a nominating petition with the local school board in order to get their name on the ballot for the annual school election. The current deadline to submit the nominating petition is 4 p.m. Tuesday, March 8. The election is scheduled for Wednesday, April 27.
Prospective school board candidates can obtain a "School Board Candidate Kit" online at www.njsba.org. Published by the New Jersey School Boards Association, the School Board Candidate Kit includes a nominating petition, information about legal qualifications for school board candidacy and the role of the school board member. Information about the New Jersey School Ethics and Act and important dates in the school election process are also included in the kit.
"One of the most meaningful contributions that a citizen can make to their community is serving on their local board of education," Harry J. Delgado, NJSBA president, said. "I encourage all interested citizens to consider school board membership. It doesn’t require a degree in education or a background in politics. However, it does require a sincere interest in the community, its children and their education."
