Warren County voters will have a say next month on seven contested school board races, according to a candidate list released Friday by the Warren County Clerk's Office.

All 22 county districts' 2010-11 budgets will also be on the ballot in the April 20 election.

A school board term is three years.

The most crowded race, with seven candidates vying for three terms, is in Lopatcong Township. Incumbents Terry Glennon and Andrew Horun will face Wade Cassese, Gusna Rutledge, Dennis Drake, Robert McFarlane and Dorthy Lee Rozycki.

In Phillipsburg, newcomer Cathy Morgan is on the ballot with incumbents Paul Rummerfield, Richard Turdo and Thomas McGuire.

Blairstown school board's full-year terms are uncontested, but two candidates Joseph Liccese and Mabell Rosko are competing for an unexpired two-year term.

Christy Doyle and Margaret "Peggy" Faulborn are running for one seat to represent Liberty Township on the Great Meadows Regional School Board.

Greenwich Township School District residents can choose among five candidates for three school board seats: Christopher Wittmann, Lois Shaughnessy, Victoria Little, Angelo Faillace and Diane Lein.

The Hackettstown Board of Education race for three school board spots feature Bruce Smith, Mary Beth Maciag, Michael Herbst, Steven Pennington and Damiano Fracasso.

Seeking three terms on Mansfield Township's school board are Kerri Reyes, Timothy Barlow, John Bell and Roy Smith.
