Election Preview: Caldwell-West Caldwell School Board

Three candidates running for two open seats on the Caldwell-West Caldwell Board of Education.

The Caldwell-West Caldwell Board of Education voted earlier this year to move school board elections to the November general election, a change made possible by a new state law. The school board elections will remain non-partisan.

There will be no vote on school budgets since the new law allows districts to approve a budget without a voter referendum so long as the budget satisfies a mandated 2% cap to the tax levy. 

Here's a look at who will be running for the Caldwell-West Caldwell School Board.
