November school board elections : Claim that there would be a reluctant to run for nonpartisan school board on the ballot as partisan races like the presidency proves false
When the Legislature last year allowed school elections to move to November, one of the worries was that people would be reluctant to run for the typically nonpartisan jobs on the same ballot as partisan races like the presidency.
Now that some early results are in, it looks as if a few of those fears may have been realized — although not to the degree expected. In fact, the slight dip may have more to do with a quirk in the filing deadlines than anything else. (Mooney, NJ Spotlight)
