From the Star...

Eleven potential candidates for the two open seats on the Simi Valley Unified School District board have pulled papers for the November election. Neither incumbent board members Carla Kurachi nor Greg Stratton are on the list.

Of the 11 who pulled candidacy papers for the school board, as of Friday afternoon five men have filed their intention to run with the Ventura County Elections Division.

The five confirmed candidates so far for the Simi district board are: Eric Lundstrom, a businessman who ran in the 2004 election; Tim Camarillo; Stephen Gould, a former school board member who lost his seat in the 2004 election; Thurlow Partridge, a retired teacher; and Steven Bloore.

There may have been more who filed late Friday, but election officials in the county's office said they wouldn't have the final tally available until Monday.

Because neither incumbent board member filed papers to defend their seats in the November election, the filing period will be extended to Wednesday.
