WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass.—With just more than two weeks left to turn in nomination papers, a three-way race is shaping up for two seats on the Mount Greylock Regional School Committee.
 
Two other seats have yet to draw any candidates' interest.
 
On Tuesday, the district office told iBerkshires.com that three Williamstown residents have taken out nomination papers to appear on the November ballot for the seven-person committee.
 
Incumbent Steven Miller is the first candidate to return papers with the required number of signatures.
 
Another incumbent, Carolyn Greene, and a newcomer, Laurel Bifano, also have taken out papers.
 
Two of four seats designated for Williamstown residents and two of three seats designated for Lanesborough residents will be on the ballot in November.
 
As of Tuesday, no resident of Lanesborough had taken out nomination papers, Superintendent Joe Bergeron reported.
 
Currently, the committee has two members whose terms are expiring this year: Curtis Elfenbein and Christina Conry.
