Unlike the City Council, to which no challengers are seeking election in November, the Benicia Unified School District Board of Trustees will have a political horse race this fall.
Three incumbents are up for re-election, and one newcomer has joined the race, meaning the top three vote-getters will earn a seat on the board.
The deadline to file for the school board race was Tuesday.
Up for re-election are board President Rosie Switzer and Trustees Steve Messina and Peter Morgan. The challenger is Diane Ferrucci.
