9/15/14 - A candidateâs forum later this month will feature six candidates running for seats on the Brighton Board of Education. The six candidates running for the three open seats in the November 4th election include two incumbents; Treasurer John Conely and Trustee Miles Vieau. They are being challenged by four parents in the district; Andy Burchfield, who has spoken often during the âCall to the Publicâ at school board meetings; David Chesney, a parent and district volunteer who is on the faculty at the University of Michigan College of Engineering; Ken Stahl, who previously ran for the board in 2012 and served as the Steering Chair for the Yes For BAS committee to pass the Brighton School Bond and finally Jerilyn Mulholland Gilleylen, a member of the Hornung Elementary School PTO. The forum will take place at Scranton Middle School on Wednesday, September 24th at 7:30pm. District voters are encouraged to attend and learn more about the slate of candidates, each of whom will give a two minute introduction, answer five to ten questions and then provide a closing statement. All three of the open seats on the board are for four-year terms. (JK)
