School Board filing deadline: July 27

Haddonfield residents interested in serving on the Board of Education have just a few days to collect the required number of signatures for their petition. The filing deadline is 4pm on Monday, July 27.

Three seats will be in play, each with a three-year term. The incumbents are Lynn Hoag, Heather Paoli, and Thomas Vecchio.

The election will be held on Tuesday, November 3, the date of the general election.

On July 1, 2020, Governor Murphy signed into law A-4037 that would require an electronic process for the collection of petition signatures and their submission for the duration of the COVID-19 public health emergency.
