2015 Lawrence school board election: candidate profiles and questionnaires

There’s a full field of candidates for the upcoming Lawrence school board race.

Four candidates will contend for a two-year term on the school board and seven others will compete for four four-year terms on the board.

The large number of filings means there will be a primary election on March 3. The primary will narrow the field of candidates for the two-year term on the school board to two candidates. The seven candidates competing for the four-year terms will not be part of the primary, but instead will all move onto the general election. The general election will be April 7.
