Qualifying begins Wednesday for the post of District 2 representative on the Vicksburg Warren School District Board of Trustees.

Contacted at her job with the Madison Parish School District, Zelmarine Murphy, would not comment on whether she will seek a fourth six-year term.

The longest-serving board member was unopposed in 2000.

Terms for the five members of the board of trustees are staggered so there’s never a complete new board. Stipends for service are about $2,400 per year.

The filing deadline this year is Sept. 8. Qualifying papers and instructions are available from the Warren County Circuit Clerk’s Office, where completed papers may also be returned.

Murphy’s seat will be the only contest on the Nov. 7 ballot.

Other members of the board are Jerry Boland, District 1; Betty Tolliver, District 3; Jan Daigre, president, District 4; and Tommy Shelton, District 5.
