Three three-year terms on the Howell K-8 School District Board of Education will be on the ballot on Election Day, Nov. 8.
The terms of Mark Bonjavanni, Suzanne Brennan and Mary Cerretani will be on the ballot. Cerretani recently resigned from the board because she moved out of Howell, according to Board Secretary Ron Sanasac.
District officials have said a resident will be appointed to serve the remainder of Cerretani’s term through Jan. 4.
