Three candidates will run for two seats on the Vicksburg Warren School District Board of Trustees in the Nov. 2 general election, as the qualifying period came to a close Friday with no additional candidates returning nominating papers.

The race will be in District 1, covering northeast Warren County, where incumbent Jerry Boland, 51, a roofing contractor, will be challenged by Bryan Pratt, 42, director of information technology at Ameristar Casino. In a close race decided by 231 votes, Boland defeated Pratt six years ago for the seat, when a total of 3,835 votes were cast in a five-person race.

Boland has served as school board president during his tenure.
