Two incumbents are running unopposed for reelection to the Westbrook School Committee.
Noreen Poitras is on the ballot in Ward 3. A West Pleasant Street resident, she has served one term on the School Committee. Poitras has two children – one Westbrook High School graduate and one current Westbrook Middle School student.
Mike Popovic also hopes to return to the School Committee, where he represent Ward 4. Seeking his second term, Popovic lives on Webster Street. His daughter attends Westbrook High School
Both candidates said they look forward to working on a proposed $27 million expansion at Saccarappa Elementary School and Westbrook Middle School. Voters will approve or deny that project with a referendum in November.
The School Committee has seven members, which includes five ward representatives and two at-large positions. Their terms are three years. Both Poitras and Popovic are Democrats nominated at their party’s caucus.
