Only one candidate filed to run for the area D Cape Henlopen school board seat that will be vacated by Jen Burton, who decided not to run for reelection.

Julia Derrick filed March 2 for the seat that represents area D, covering Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach and the area south to the Indian River Inlet. A candidate must live in the area D geographic area, but all residents of the Cape Henlopen School District, no matter where they live, can vote in the school board election. No one else filed for the 5-year seat before the March 3 deadline.
