Third school board candidate files

Okay, so maybe it's starting to get just a little bit crowded.

Self-employed management consultant MaryAnne Gucciardi filed for candidacy today for one of three open seats on the Chapel Hill-Carrboro school board. Gucciardi ran in 2008 to finish out county commissioner Pam Hemminger's term. That seat was filled by Greg McElveen, who is expected to run for re-election.

Gucciardi was the former director of development at UNC's School of Medicine. She is also a Rashkis Elementary parent.

Gucciardi joins Gary Wallach and Michelle Brownstein in the race. There's still a little over a week left to file.
