Eight candidates will appear on the June 9 ballot for two seats on the Clarkston Community Schools Board of Education.
Kurt Shanks and Janet Thomas had previously announced that they would not seek reelection, making the race a competition among newcomers.
Those who met the Monday, April 7 filling deadline were Jeffrey Allsteadt, Jean C. Dasuqi, Sherri Kerby, John W. Koval, Julie Maier, Tony Miller, Tim Smith and Diane Weller.
Koval was an unsuccessful candidate in the 2002 school election.
Although a change in election law this year allowed for a candidate’s inclusion on the ballot with a $100 filing fee in lieu of the standard nominating petitions, all eight candidates were able to obtain the required number of signatures to be listed on the June 9 ballot.
