Most of the slate of candidates for the fall election has now been set, but people wanting to run for school board still have time to declare their candidacy.

The window of time to file a petition for a school board office opened July 22 and will close at noon Friday, Aug. 21.

The two school board seats that will be on the ballot this fall are at-large seats, meaning that candidates don’t have to live in specific districts. However, no more than two people from the same district can serve on the five-member board at the same time, so the two at-large candidates who are elected this fall cannot be from the same district, since there are already three members on the board who come from each of the three districts.

School board is a nonpartisan office.

Contact the Brown County clerk’s office at 812-988-5510 or [email protected] to learn about the process, or visit in.gov/sos/elections and click on “candidate information” to find a handbook and required forms.
