ARCHIVED BLOG: Forum Presents School Board Candidates

This live blog will provide coverage of the candidate forum for the seven candidates running for three open positions on the Port Washington-Saukville School Board. The forum is hosted by League of Women Voters of Ozaukee County, and will start at 7 p.m. Monday.

Five candidates running for two open positions that represent the city of Port include: Leo Duffrin IV, 919 Fairview Dr.; Brenda Fritsch, 1716 Terrace Dr.; Earl Kelley, 201 E. Whitefish Rd.; Ross Larsson, 228 N. Garfield Ave.; and Michelle Mueller, 1027 W. 3rd Ave.

These candidates will face a primary election on Feb. 21; the four winning candidates will then continue on to the general elections on April 3.

Two candidates running for the Saukville spot will not need a primary election, but will still be at the forum; they include: incumbent Carey Gremminger and newcomer John Soper.

School Board members serve three-year terms, and are paid $1,200 annually for attending one regular monthly meeting as well as one monthly committee meeting. The members are paid extra for attending extra meetings, at a rate of $25 for meetings less than two hours, and $50 for meetings that go longer.
