MT. VERNON — WMIX/WDML brings you part 3 of a two-week series on the contested races for the school boards of Mt. Vernon City Schools District 80, Mt. Vernon Township High School District 201, and the Mt. Vernon City Council.

Today we have one of the candidates running for the MVTHS school board, Matthew Flanigan, who just completed a 2-year term on the board and is running for re-election.

Flanigan says his top priority if he were re-elected would be to continue bolstering safety at MVTHS.

The other candidates running for the MVTHS school board are Jonathon Ashby, Tina Elltot, Terry Knowles, and Lora Mellott Greathouse.
