One of the 2 candidates in district 2 will be elected on August 24 with more than 50% of the vote. One of the 3 candidates in district 5 will be elected on August 24 PROVIDED the winning candidate receives 50% plus 1 of the votes cast. If not, a run off election between the 2 district 5 candidates receiving the most votes will occur on November 2nd
Not participating was district #1 incumbent Diane Bauer. She had no candidate opposition by qualifying deadline and was therefore automatically seated for another term.
The winning candidate in each district will be seated on the school board at its meeting after the November general election.
Early voting will begin August 9. Absentee voting is now underway. Voting at precincts in Seminole County will take place on Tuesday, August 24.
The school board member office is non-partisan. The term of each of the 5 public school board members is 4 years. A member may serve an unlimited number of terms if re-qualified and elected. A school board member’s annual salary is set by the Florida legislature at $ 36,000 which is the equivalent of the district’s compensation for a first year teacher with a baccalaureate degree.

Nice pppost. If you are from Seminole County, FL and wondering about the school board election come to http://twitter.com/SeminoleGovNews.
Well it’s finally back to school for the little guys. I don’t know how the teachers do it. Here in Florida the schools are so under staffed the teachers don’t even have aids for the kindergarten and first graders. I was shocked to find out this year some of the schools are actually asking for parents to toilet paper as school supplies. And what happened to all this money the lottery was going to provide?
I agree with Lloyd. Where is all this money from the lottery going? Billions of dollars. Who is the accountant on this? We agreed to have lotto for the sake of the schools and teachers. Why are they begging for paper and books? It’s such a shame. We give to other countries but not our own. Wake up America! Please vote…..
