Isnt Alvin Edwards running for his seat? I believe there are three vacant seats. Either way, we need committed people to run for those seats, it is a really important job.
Four of the seven seats are up for reelection. Of those four candidates, only Alvin Edwards is running for reelection. That’s three open seats. Now comes Bograd’s decision to resign from his seat, which leaves a fourth open seat.
Lou’s is one of the four seats that were up for election in November. So, there are three vacant seats to be filled, plus Alvin Edwards’ seat, putting four seats at play in total.
Minor correction to your correction–it’s the School Board itself, not Council, who will be making the interim appointment to fill Lou’s seat…
And Jennifer is correct, we need good people to step up and run for these seats. I was on the losing side of the debate over an elected School Board, but now that it’s here, we need candidates!!
A correction to my correction. Oy vey.
Clearly, it’s not my day.
