A school election is planned for Monday in Saline with two board seats open as Dr. G J Prout and Frank Brittain leave the board. Candidates include Prout, Brittain, and Mrs. Robert Tefft, each touting dedication to Saline students and taxpaying residents. The community also faces a high school expansion and ongoing district challenges as voters prepare to cast ballots.
