Josh Mattos, who previously served three years on a school council, has three children enrolled in the schools and volunteers with various school projects, is seeking the District 7 seat on the Bulloch County Board of Education. His candidacy gives District 7 a race between two potential newcomers to the board. Heather Mims announced earlier for the seat, which is currently held by this year's board chairman, Mike Herndon, who is not seeking re-election.
