There’s 138 days until the Nov. 5 election, and there are just enough candidates running for an uncontested School Board election.

There are two vacancies in this election cycle after School Board Members Abdel Elnoubi and Jacinta Greene won their Democratic nominations for City Council on June 18. Additionally, two Board Members are not running for reelection, former Board Chair Meagan Alderton in District C, and Tammy Ignacio in District B.

The filing deadline for non-partisan School Board candidates was also the date of the city’s Democratic primary on June 18.

The list of candidates is below.
