After three terms and 12 years as a member of the Lake Orion Community Schools Board of Education, Bob Gritzinger planned on not running again. He is not on the May 3 ballot.
But, as of last week he is back in the race, running as a write-in candidate.
‘Events of the past week’specifically a failure by the board April 13 to approve a fully discussed and properly negotiated contract that had already been approved by our teachers’forced me to reconsider leaving the board. This action puts our entire district at risk because of a total breakdown of trust in our board and administration,? he said.
