Candidates Sought For St. Cloud School Board Election This Fall

WAITE PARK (WJON News) -- The St. Cloud Area School District is looking for candidates to run for a school board position during a special election.

On November 4^th, the district will hold a special election to elect one person to fill a vacancy for a term of three years expiring on January 8^th, 2029.

The candidate filing period is Tuesday through August 12^th.

To file for candidacy, you can complete the Affidavit of Candidacy at the District Administration Office, or bring in a notarized Affidavit of Candidacy form to the District Administration Office in Waite Park.  A $2 filing fee or a petition with 500 signatures is required.
