HOBOKEN—Eight residents filed to run for the Hoboken Board of Education this fall by Monday’s petition deadline, according to the Hudson County Board of Elections. Three seats on the board, which sets budgets and selects the superintendent for Hoboken’s traditional public schools, will be up for grabs in the Nov. 3 general election.
No matter who wins, the school board will have two new members come January 2016. The terms of Trustees Ruth Tyroler and Jean Marie Mitchell are set to expire this year, and neither filed to defend their seat.
That makes Trustee Tom Kluepfel, who was elected with Tyroler and Mitchell on the Kids First slate in 2012, the only incumbent in the race.
The other candidates who filed to run are Patricia Waiters, Sheillah Dallara, Diane Rubino, Addys Velez, Britney Montgomery, Alanna Kauffmann, and John Madigan.
