The South Milwaukee School Board ballot is set.
Three of the eight School Board seats are up for election on April 5 — those held by incumbents Patricia Bordak (board president), John Haslam and Brett Briesemeister — and there are three people formally running for those seats.
Pat and John will join challenger Carol Dufek on the ballot, according to the district. Brett is not running again after six years of service.
It’s good to see that there will at least be three candidates on the ballot. You’ll recall that in 2009 just one candidate (Theresa Travia) declared to run for two open School Board seats.
Joe Weirich beat Dufek as a write-in candidate to claim the other seat.
School board candidates serve three-year terms. Elected city officials serve two-year terms.
