On February 17, 2005 the Associated Press reported, "the debate over whether a school district should require students to hear a statement about 'intelligent design' is spilling over into this year's school board election. Two Dover Area School District board members who have resigned in protest of the policy say they plan to circulate nominating petitions for the May 17 primary election. A plaintiff in a federal lawsuit against the district is also expected to make a bid for the board. The district is believed to be the only one in the nation to require students to hear about intelligent design - a concept that holds that the universe is so complex, it must have been created by an unspecified guiding force... Tuesday was the first day that prospective candidates could circulate petitions to run for seven seats on the nine-member board; the terms of two other members expire in 2007."
