School district spending and keeping students safe are among issues raised by the nine candidates seeking nominations for four seats on the Norwin School Board in the May 18 primary.
The race features two incumbents, two separate teams of candidates and two candidates running independently of the others. All of the candidates have cross-filed in their bids for the nominations and all live in North Huntingdon.
Brian Carlton, 41, board president, and Raymond Kocak, 57, are the incumbents running for reelection to second terms. Two other incumbents decided not to run Tony Corsa, who was appointed to the board in December 2019, and Donald Rhodes, who opted not to seek a fifth term.
