Today is the deadline for candidates to qualify to be on the ballot including non-partisan elected school board. There are four seats open on the seven-member Charlottesville School Board and five people have submitted paperwork to qualify.
Amanda Burns announced her candidacy in May as did Chris Meyer, a candidate who placed fifth in a four-way race in 2019. None of the four incumbents elected that year are seeking re-election.
As of this morning, three other candidates had filed with the Charlottesville registrar. They are Nicole Richardson who was certified on June 13 and Shymora Cooper whose paperwork was certified on June 15.
Rosia Parker, a former member of the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority’s Board of Commissioners, filed some of the required papers and has until 7 p.m. tonight to complete the work.
