Five East Windsor Township residents, including three incumbents, have filed nominating petitions to run for three seats on the East Windsor Regional School District Board of Education.
A fourth board member is running unopposed to fill one of two seats on the board that are earmarked for Hightstown representatives. There are nine seats on the board.
The deadline to file was July 30. The school board election is set for Nov. 6.
Incumbents Paul Connolly, Robert Laverty and Alice Weisman, whose terms will end in December, have each filed to run for another three-year term.
They are being challenged by newcomers Christina “Tina” Lands, Oak Creek Road, and Colleen Murphy, Twin Rivers Drive.
Connolly, Hickory Corner Road, has served on the board since 2009.
Laverty, Maple Stream Road, served on the school board from 2001-16 and was appointed to fill an unexpired term in 2017.
Weisman, Dorchester Drive, served on the board from 2002-2011 and from 2012 to the present.
The fourth incumbent, Jennifer Drake, faces no opposition. Drake, who lives on South Main Street, Hightstown, was appointed to fill an unexpired term and is running for her first full three-year term.
