School Board filing seats underway
The filing process for applying for the New Prague School Board is currently underway and will run through 5 p.m. on Tuesday, July 19.
Three school board seats will be on the November 8 ballot. The terms for Tim Heinen, Rod Tietz and Diane Weyrick will expire at the end of 2005 year. Each seat represents a 4-year term.
All interested applicants must meet the following criteria in order to run for one of the three seats: must be a resident of District #721 for at least 30 days prior to the general election; must be 21 years old as of January 1, 2006; must be a U.S. citizen and must fill out an affidavit of filing. Affidavits may be picked up at the District Office until July 19. There is a $2 fee to file for a school board seat.
If seven or more candidates file their candidacy, a primary election will be held in September. No more than six candidates will be on ballot for the general election.
