Newcomers will figure largely in the Barnegat Township Board of Education race, as 11 candidates have filed for three seats.

Incumbents George Fedorczyk Jr. and Justin Deemer are seeking their first three-year terms. Fedorczyk and Deemer were appointed this year to replace Lauren Sarno and David Sherman, respectively, who had resigned. Fedorczyk will run under the slogan “Progress for Education” while Deemer’s theme is “Putting Education First.”
