A Quick Quiz For GPS Board CandidatesLindsey Mahlich and Mindy Conley are challenging current board members Rachal Gort and Richard Vance in a recall election for the two seats on the Grant Public School Board.
We reached out to the candidates asking them to participate in answering a series of questions for the community.
