Gulf Coast High School teacher Julie Sprague has filed paperwork to run for the District 4 Collier County School Board seat.

The seat is currently occupied by School Board Chairwoman Linda Abbott, who hasn’t yet filed to run for re-election.

Sprague teaches health at Gulf Coast High School. She also is actively involved in Friends Together, a nonprofit organization that provides education and support for children and their families infected and affected by AIDS. To raise money for the organization, Sprague climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa in 2006 and has biked 500 miles from Tallahassee to Naples.

The five members of the School Board represent districts, but are elected by voters countywide. District 4 is comprised of most of the city of Naples.

School Board members serve four-year terms, and all the races are nonpartisan.

The filing deadline is noon, June 20.
