All four incumbents will file for reelection to the ISD 831 School Board, the four confirmed last week.

Board President Bill Bresin and current members Joe Grafft, Rob Rapheal and Dan Kieger all told the Forest Lake Times on Thursday, June 28 they would file for new four-year terms on the school board.

The four men said they would run as a team and planned to complete the formal filing duty on Tuesday, July 3, the first day of the filing period.

The 14-day filing period for the Tuesday, Nov. 6 election opens on Tuesday, July 3 and continues through Tuesday, July 17.

All four seats are for four-year terms starting Jan. 1, 2008 and running through Jan. 2, 2012.

With four seats up for election, if more than eight candidates file for office, a primary election will be necessary, according to state election law.

The primary election, if necessary, would fall on Tuesday, Sept. 11.

Affidavits of candidacy will be available from the district clerk in the superintendent’s office at the District Office Building, 6100 N. 210th St., during regular business hours Monday through Friday.

The filing fee is $2.

A candidate must be an eligible voter, 21 years of age or more on assuming office, have been a resident of the school district for 30 days before the school board election and must have no other affidavit on file for any other office at the same primary or next ensuing general election.
