Three seats up for grabs in 2008 Board of Education election; filing deadline Feb. 25

Township residents wishing to run in the 2008 Board of Education elections have until Monday, Feb. 25, at 4 p.m. to register for one of three open seats on the Cherry Hill Board of Education.

The 2008 Cherry Hill Board of Education elections will take place in the township on April 15.

Any registered voter who has lived in the township for more than one year may run for one of the three, three-year seats that will be open on the board of education.

Current board members Susan Badaracco and Nancy O’Dowd will see their three-year seats expire in 2008. Board of Education President Anne Einhorn will also see her three-year seat expire.

None of the three members who are seeing their seats expire in 2008 have registered to run yet for re-election, public information officer Susan Bastnagel said.

Residents of Cherry Hill Township will also be asked to approve or deny the school district’s 2008-2009 budget on the April 15 ballot. It’s too early in the election season to determine whether a second question will be added to the ballot, Bastnagel said. March 24 is the last day districts can present their budgets to the public.
