House Passes Nonpartisan School Board Election Bill
In Harrisburg a narrowly approved bill would shift school directors to nonpartisan elections starting 1969, pending Senate approval. It would allow anyone to run with 60 petition signatures, nominate six directors at each municipal primary, and elect three in the next general election. Critics question the move to nonpartisans for school boards.
