Sources tell WCBC News that over 10 candidates submitted their interest for the open Allegany County School Board seat once held by the late Bob Farrell.  The list has been reduced to four possibilities – Tom Farrell who is the brother of Bob Farrell, former board members Tammy Fraley and Dr. Ed Root, and Linda Widmyer.  Sources also indicate that school system superintendent Jeff Blank is waiting to make a decision on his next term until a replacement is announced.  Blank must inform the board of his decision by the end of the month.
