Those interested in vying for the seats must enter nominating petitions by 5 p.m. Monday, April 18 with the District Clerk.
There are five members on the Board of Education each serving a three-year term.
Terms are staggered so that only two seats or one seat may be up for election at a time.
This year, the terms of Board President Warren Messner and Board Member Jeffrey Mester expire and both are seeking re-election. School board candidates run "at large" and not for specific seats, so the two candidates who receive the largest number of votes will win the two seats.
There are five members on the library board with each member serving a five-year term. Terms are staggered so that one new member is elected each year. This year, due to a vacancy, there are two seats up for election.
Library board candidates run "at large" and not for specific seats, so the two candidates who receive the largest number of votes will win the two seats.
The candidate receiving the largest number of votes will fill the full five-year term, and the candidate receiving the second largest number of votes will fill the term that expires on June 30, 2017.
