SCHOOL BOARD CANDIDATE DEADLINE IS TODAY, GLEASON OUT

The school board race is heating up to be a real challenge as the deadline to enter approaches today at 4 p.m.


Veteran board member and former School Board President Mark Gleason told PATCH he will not run again and has endorsed incumbent Wayne Eastman, who is up for re-election with incumbent Jennifer Payne-Parish.


But Eastman has broken ranks somewhat with Payne-Parrish, running with challengers Madhu Pai and Jeff Bennett against her.


The election is set for April 17.
