Three Seattle school board members' terms are up this November, but only one of them, board President Michael DeBell, has been public about his intentions to seek re-election before candidate filing begins next week.

DeBell, who represents District 4, has already opened a campaign account with the Washington State Public Disclosure Commission. Thus far, he has raised $946 and spent $500 in the non-partisan race. Neither he, nor any of his colleagues who could seek re-election, have knowledge of any opponents or potential opponents.
Seattle School Board member Cheryl Chow will not seek a second term. In her statement this morning, Chow said that "there comes a time to walk away from the public spotlight and focus my energy on other personal goals. Now is that time."

The former City Councilmember said that when she was elected to the school board the district was in "turmoil." While in office Chow said that she made a difference by helping to recruit Superintendent Maria Goodloe-Johnson, creating a balanced budget and improving the relationship with the Legislature and the Governor.
