Two members of the School Committee will see a challenge in their bid to retain seats in the April 5 Town Election.
John Costello and Ethan Hamilton—the committee chair—have both turned in their papers for re-election. David Chee and Charles R. Dobre-Badobre are also running for the School Committee. These are the only contested seats in this year’s election. The deadline for turning in nomination papers was Feb. 11.
Other seats on the ballot will be the Board of Electric Commissioners, Board of Public Works, and the Park Commission.
