4 Will Run Uncontested for Hackettstown School Board

The Hackettstown Public Schools Board of Education may only see one new face next year as mostly incumbents filed nominating petitions to seek re-relection on the board by Tuesday's deadline.

Incumbents Michael Herbst and Mary Beth Maciag will be joined by newcomer Teri Ely in seeking three-year terms on the school board, according to the Warren County Clerk's Office. Candidates had until 4 p.m. on Tuesday to submit petitions, indicating their intentions to run.

Also seeking re-election is Robert Moore, who is currently serving a one-year unexpired term and will be seeking another one-year unexpired seat on the board.

The public will have the opportunity to vote for candidates during the November general election after the Hackettstown school board voted to move the election to the fall and eliminate a budget vote.
