HCCSC School Board has four seats available

The Huntington County Community School Corporation Board of School Trustees will have four seats open for election on Nov. 3, and the Huntington County Clerk’s Office says only one candidate has filed so far.

The deadline to file for candidacy is Friday, Aug. 21, at noon, says Voter Registration and Election Deputy Clerk Yvette Runkle.

The seats that are open are:
• School Board District 1 (Union and Jackson).
• School Board District 4 (Huntington 8, 12, 12A South, Lancaster and Dallas).
• School Board District 6 (Huntington 4, 5, 5A and 6A).
• School Board District 7 (Huntington 7, 7A, 9, 10 and 12A North).

As of press date, James Ryan Wall is the only school board candidate to have filed. Wall is running for the school board seat in District 7.

Candidates must pick up a school board candidacy packet at the clerk’s office Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Each candidate must obtain the signatures of 10 registered voters. Those voters may be in any school district, not just the one for which the candidate is filing.

School board terms are four years.
