Eighteen people have filed to appear on the Nov. 5 ballot for election to five local school boards.
The filing deadline for school board candidates was Thursday at noon. Forms required included a petition with supporting signatures from 10 registered voters who live within the corporation boundaries, as well as a statement of economic interests.
School board candidates are non-partisan positions in Indiana. All eligible voters in the school corporation territory vote for each school board seat.
Among school board seats up for election this year are three at-large seats on the Rochester School Board. All three incumbents, Katie Miller, Casi Cowles and Kyle Rensberger, have filed for reelection.
Those filing for Caston School Board are incumbent Chad Boldry, District 2, Scott Rudicel, District 3, and incumbent Cristie Rans, District 4.
Filing for Tippecanoe Valley School Board are incumbents Aaron Zolman, District 1, and Adam Heckaman, District 2.
Those filing for open Culver School Board seats are Anthony Zehner, District 1, incumbents Mark Maes, District 2, and John Uebler, District 5.
Eastern Pulaski Schools will elect four school board members, and there is a six-way race for its three Monroe Township seats. Those candidates are Waylon Burke, Scott Hanson, Gregory Kiser, Monica Potthoff, Stephen Rausch and Jimmy Terry. Incumbent Taylor White has filed and is unopposed for the board's Van Buren Township seat.
