Three newcomers and one veteran school board member have filed nominating petitions to run for three seats on the Hopewell Valley Regional School District Board of Education in the Nov. 6 election.
The filing deadline to run for the three seats, two to represent Hopewell Township and one to represent Pennington, was July 30. A term is for three years.
Seven of the nine board members represent Hopewell Township. Pennington and Hopewell Borough each have one representative.
