            People interested in running for school board have from July 11-August 4 to file papers with their district’s school board secretary. For SWG, this is Karla Flickinger, whose office is in the Burnside building.  Nomination petitions may be obtained from the school board secretary, the county auditor’s office, or online at www.sos.ia.us/elections/electioninfo/schoolelections/html.
