MT. VERNON — WMIX/WDML brings you part 4 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, Terry Knowles, who is up for re-election and he hopes the current board will continue working together.

Knowles says outside of student safety as his top priority, he also wants the MVTHS school board to provide the best tools for not only students, but faculty and staff as well.

The other candidates running for MVTHS school board are Jonathon Ashby, Tina Elltot, Matthew Flanigan, and Lora Mellott Greathouse.
