Voters OK fix for problematic PW-S School Board vacancy

Voters on Tuesday overwhelmingly approved changing the way one Port Washington-Saukville School Board member is elected to remedy the problem of a long-vacant board seat.    

A referendum question on the April 3 ballot that asked if a board seat that represents a small area of the district should be changed to an at-large position that can be filled by a person living anywhere in the district was approved by a 78% margin — 2,906 to 821 votes.
