School Board Candidates Have Until June 4 to File

Candidates for local school boards have less than a month to file their candidacy with the county clerk.

Now, candidates have until June 4 to file a petition to run in November, said the county clerk's office. 

Local races in Manasquan, Wall and Belmar, among others, switched to a November school board race last year.

The move to a November election was allowed under a newly passed state law, giving districts the choice to keep an April election or move it to coincide with the general election in November.

Candidates will be listed in a separate section of the November ballot, as school board elections are nonpartisan.
