Residents living within the borders of Connoquenessing, Butler, Center, Oakland, Summit and Clearfield townships will select five members of Butler Area School District school board at the May 16 primary election.

There are six candidates running for the school board. Current board president Jennifer Cummings and vice president Jennifer Daniels-Wells are running for reelection, and they cross-filed on the Republican and Democratic ballots, along with challengers Terry Stivason and Phil Heasley.

Challengers Cecilia Tomko and Tess Walko are running only for Republican Party nominations.

The four-year terms of Cummings, Daniels-Wells, Bill Halle — whose name was removed from the ballot by a judge — and Regenold Griffin and Mary Waggoner — both of whom did not enter the primary — expire at the end of this year.
