Six candidates have filed for four-year terms on the Van Buren Public Schools Board of Education by the 4 p.m. Aug. 10 deadline.
Two seats are open and will be filled in the Nov. 2 General Election.
Those who will be on the ballot are:
* Ralph Nodwell of Van Buren Township, who served on the school board for many years and didn’t run for reelection last year because he was out of state and inadvertently missed the filing deadline. He filed early this year so he wouldn’t miss out.
* David Peer, an incumbent of Ypsilanti Township, has served as board president for many years and is running again. He is retired from the auto industry.
* Victor Hogan of Van Buren Township, incumbent and another longtime board member, currently serving as board secretary. He is a cancer researcher at Wayne State University.
* Michael Miazga of Van Buren Township, a newcomer as a candidate, is present chairman of the Van Buren Township Public Safety Committee and is treasurer of the local Masonic Lodge.
* Scott Russell, another newcomer as a candidate, is a resident of Van Buren Township.
* Sherry Frazier, an educator and former VB School Board trustee, filed on the last day. She lives in Van Buren Township.
