It’s only the first day of qualifying but most candidates for the Pinellas County School Board have done so. Only two – Chris Hardman, running for District 4, and Carol Cook, running for re-election in District 5 – have not done so. Two other candidates – Alex Powers in the District 1 race and Anthony Maccaroni in the District 4 race – are listed as inactive.
If no last-minute candidates appear the field for the nonpartisan School Board races are set. Candidates have until noon Friday to qualify.
Here’s how they line up so far:
District 1: Bill Dudley, Joanne Lentino, Matt Stewart
District 4: Hardman (not yet qualified), Eileen Long, Ken Peluso (incumbent)
District 5: Carol Cook (incumbent, not yet qualified), Mike Petruccelli, Eliseo Santana
