One seat available in Lake Forest school board election

By Elle Wood

FELTON — In Tuesday’s board of education elections, the Lake Forest School District has one at-large seat up for grabs.

The position is a four-year term, ending June 30, 2028, and there are two contenders.

The first is incumbent Sarah Starkey of Felton, who also serves as the board’s liaison for Lake Forest High and the Delaware Early Childhood Center, and is an alternate for the Delaware School Boards Association’s board of directors.

Ms. Starkey, who has been a board member since 2019, will be running against David Mazur of Frederica, a retired state of New Jersey employee who moved to Delaware in 2020.

Polling places will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday at Frederica Volunteer Fire Co., 6 Front St.; Lake Forest North Elementary, 319 E. Main St., Felton; Lake Forest South Elementary, 301 Dorman St., Harrington; and Lake Forest High, 5407 Killens Pond Road, Felton.

A voter must be a citizen of the United States and of Delaware, live within the district and be at least 18 years old on or before the day of the election.

Also required is proof of identity and address, like a driver’s license, a Delaware ID card, a work ID with photo and address or U.S. postal material with a street address.
