Our conversation with Carol Klenow and Howard Wallach
There’s a shortage of candidates for school boards across Michigan. About 1,600 hundred seats will be open in 540 districts in the November elections. In the 2014 elections, approximately 70 seats were left open. Why don’t people want to serve on their local school boards?Carol Klenow, board member of the Utica Community School Board, and Howard Wallach, board member of the Farmington Public Schools Board, have each served over a decade on Michigan school boards and have seen how Michigan school boards have changed. Now, both have decided not to run for re-election to their respective school boards.
Klenow and Wallach joined us to talk about how Michigan schools have changed.
