North Allegheny School Board Elections

Current North Allegheny School Board Members that have terms ending at the end of this year:

Maureen M. Grosheider, President (Been on the Board since July, 1995)
Alan T. Shuckrow, Vice President (Been on the Board since December, 2005)
Karen S. Boujoukos (Been on the Board since December, 2001)
H. Scott Cunningham (Been on the Board since December, 2001)
Beth A. Ludwig (Been on the Board since December, 2001)

The North Allegheny School Board is elected by all the residents of North Allegheny (Marshall, McCandless, Bradford Woods, and Franklin Park) for 4 year terms. Every 2 years either 4 or 5 seats are up for re-election.

I actually found an outdated website for when these 5 candidates ran in 2007.



Will the all Republican School Board survive the fact that they raised taxes the last 2 years in row? Will the Democrats put out any real candidates to run against them?
