It's school board election season

and given all the discontent out there, it will be interesting to see who runs, who stays and who goes.

Already, incumbent Salinas Union High School District Trustees Cheryl Larison, Kathryn Ramirez, and Patricia Saenz jointly announced their candidacies for re-election in November this past Monday. And I'm sure many people I don't know about have decided to run. It's going to be an interesting five months.

Administrators at the Monterey Peninsula College will hold a candidate orientation session at 6 p.m. on July 14 in the administration building. There's been plenty of interest from people wanting to run from areas 4 and 5, but little for area 3, which comprises Monterey and Del Rey Oaks, so college officials are hoping to get more prospective candidates from there.

Here's a full list of all the offices up for grabs this November.
