There are now eight candidates for three three-year seats on the Board of Education.
Board Secretary Craig Smith confirmed that Valeria Yancey is no longer a candidate.
"Ms. Yancey was disqualified due to a challenge by another candidate team on her petition that she submitted. That challenge was then verified to be accurate after consultation with the Union County Board of Elections," Smith replied to Plaintalker's query on Monday.
The remaining candidates are incumbent Board President Wilma Campbell, seeking her fifth term; incumbent Frederick Moore; James Plummer; Lynn B. Anderson; Dorien Hurtt; Carmencita Pile; Alice F. Horton-Mays; and Jackie Coley. Campbell, Moore and Plummer are running as a slate, as are Anderson, Hurtt and Pile.
The last day to register to vote in the school board election is Tuesday, March 29.
The election is April 19 and polls are open from 2 to 9 p.m. Your sample ballot will indicate your polling place. See vote-by-mail requirements here.
