Five residents filed petitions to run for three open seats on the Lockport City School District Board of Education by the Wednesday deadline.
The candidates in the May 21 election are incumbent trustees Kristina Schutt and Michael Ferraro, and Gregory Newman Jr., Paul Patterson and Nicole Zugelder.
Longtime incumbent trustee John Linderman is not seeking re-election.
All board seats have a three-year term of office.
Earlier this week, the League of Women Voters Buffalo Niagara announced it will conduct a Lockport school board candidates’ forum on May 15, from 6 to 8 p.m. in the high school auditorium.
