Princeton school board candidate headshots

On Nov. 5, voters in Princeton will have choices in the local school board election. Six candidates are seeking the three seats available on the board for three-year terms.

Only one incumbent is seeking reelection, Mara Franceschi. Incumbents Brian McDonald and Betsy Baglio decided not to seek another term on the school board.

Some of the candidates will be participating in a Zoom forum with Planet Princeton that will be posted within the next week.

We sent each candidate the same questions for candidate profiles. We did not edit responses, except to match the Associated Press style. We also did not set a word limit. Candidates had about two weeks to complete the questionnaires. The profiles were posted and are listed here in the order they were submitted.
