Hey, where are all of those candidates who are suppose to be running for school board and college trustee slots over in Long Beach?

Filing for the upcoming April 13th Long Beach school and college board elections has been underway for the past two weeks, and so far interest in the campaign seems to lackluster at best.

The Long Beach Unified School District Election is being held to electing three members to the Board of Education, Districts 1, 3 and 5 and three members to the Long Beach City College Board of Trustees, Areas 1, 3 and 5.  So far, only 9 candidates have declared interest in running in these 6 offices.
