There a ton of vacant slots in many school boards. Colonial has three seats up for election which could change the make-up of their board substantially! Same with Indian River! All are five-year terms expiring in 2023 unless notated otherwise. If there is no district, that means it is an “At-large seat”, meaning anyone who lives in the district and is over 18 can apply as long as you meet the Department of Elections criteria (i.e.: not a criminal). Every traditional school district has an opening. Here they are:
Appoquinimink
Brandywine: Districts A and C
Caesar Rodney
Cape Henlopen: Area “A”
Capital
Christina: Districts C and E
Colonial: Districts A, C and G, District G’s seat expires in 2019
