Two positions on the DeKalb County Board of Education will be filled in the county general election on August 6.
Those seats are currently held by W.J. (Dub) Evins, III in the 5th district and Doug Stephens in the 6th District. The terms are for four years.
Monday, February 3 was the first day potential candidates could pick up a qualifying petition for the School Board election and Jason L. Miller has obtained one to seek the 6th district seat.
The qualifying deadline is April 2.
Seven members make up the Board of Education but they do not all run in the same year because their four year terms are staggered. The 5th and 6th district positions are up for election this year. The other five were filled in 2018 and will be on the ballot again in 2022.
