It's that time again. The polling places are open and already bustling with Claremont residents ready to vote for their favorite school board candidates. This year's race is a tough one, with five qualified candidates vying for three spots on the Claremont Unified School District's Board of Education.

Incumbent Steven Llanusa hopes for another run on the board, while Mary Caenepeel and Jeff Stark step down for a new crop of school board members. Candidates include David Nemer, a retired school teacher, Nancy Treser Osgood, a college administrator, Joe Salas, teacher, and Paul Steffen, local real estate broker and businessman.
