The make up of local k-12 public school and college boards is going to look slightly different following the November 3rd election.

In the Port Huron Area School District, three seats were up for grabs, all separated by just a few hundred votes. The top three vote getters were incumbent Ann Murphy and newcomers Frank Partipilo and Jessica Totty. Six were running for three open spots on the school board. With almost all returns in, it appears that incumbent Brian Winters will not be re-elected the board.

Marysville Public School district voters were asked to choose three board members from a pool of five. Voters in the district favored the incumbents, with Barry Kreiner, David Watson, and Nicole Winston all being re-elected.

For the St. Clair County Community College Board of Trustees, challenger John Lusk continued to make gains on an early lead last night, earning him a seat on the college board. The next highest vote recipient was incumbent board president Nicholas DeGrazia. A total of five were running for two available spots on the SC4 Board of Trustees.
