Glut of candidates for St. Paul school board as 41 apply

Tom Weber:

More than three dozen people have applied for an open seat on the St. Paul School Board.

The seat was left vacant in November when board member Vallay Varro stepped down to head an education non-profit. The St. Paul School Board now has to appoint someone to fill that seat for the year remaining in Varro's term.

With the application period now closed, the district says 41 people applied. Familiar names include two former St. Paul School Board members, Al Oertwig and William Finney. Finney also used to be St. Paul's police chief.
