3 Comments. Comment Now
The Ann Arbor school district has extended its deadline for applying for a vacant school board seat as it debates whether to switch to November elections.
Anyone who wants to apply for the seat vacated by Trustee Helen Gates-Bryant, who resigned last week, has until 4 p.m. Dec. 3.
District spokeswoman Liz Margolis said in an e-mail that the board is considering moving its May elections to November general elections as a cost-saving measure. The board is expected to decide by Dec. 16.
The Ypsilanti school board also is considering moving its election cycle.
"If a decision is made to move the election, the term for the board position vacated by Helen Gates-Bryant last week will run through December 31, 2010 (new board terms would then run January 1 through December 31)," Margolis wrote.

Here's a chance for all those people ranting about 'wasteful school spending' to do something about it. Won't hold my breath.

NEWS FLASH
Being on the school board is very difficult, involves almost no pay and subjects you to an almost unbelievable amount of second guessing. Did I mention the hundreds of extra phone calls? APPLY NOW! What, no takers???
