The Warren Township School District has information available for citizens interested in running for the board of education.
The Warren Township Board of Education will have four vacancies in the November 7, 2023, Annual School Election, Shannon Regan, a spokesperson for the district, announced today. A full term on the school board runs for three years. The district will have three full-term seats and one one-year term seat.
A candidate must file a nominating petition with the county clerk for his or her name to appear on the ballot during the November Annual School Election. The deadline to submit the nominating petition is 4:00 p.m. Monday, July 31, 2023. The election is scheduled for Tuesday, November 7, 2023.
Prospective school board candidates can download candidate information from the New Jersey School Boards Association’s website at NJSBA School Board Candidate Kit. The School Board Candidate Kit includes information about nominating petitions, legal qualifications for school board candidacy, and the school board member’s role. Information about the New Jersey School Ethics Act and important dates in the school election process are also included.
“One of the most meaningful contributions that citizens can make to their community is serving on the local board of education,” said Michael McClure, former NJSBA president. “I encourage all interested citizens to consider school board membership. It doesn’t require a degree in education or a background in politics. However, it does require a sincere interest in the community, its children, and their education.”
