Incumbents Seek Re-election to Hazelwood School District Board of Education
No newcomers file to run in the April municipal election when there are two board seats up for grabs.
As the April 2, 2013 municipal election quickly approaches, there won't be much of an election within the Hazelwood School District (HSD).
On that day residents will go to the polls to vote for candidates they wish to servedin various council, mayoral, fire district and other capacities; however, when it comes to the board of education, there will be no competition.
The Hazelwood School District has confirmed with Patch that no residents have filed to challenge those currently in office.

"No one else has signed up," said Diana Gulotta, assistant superintendent for communications. "Therefore, because the number of candidates is equal to the number of open positions, HSD will not have to hold an election this April."
