In the Willow Run Community School District, four people are vying for two four-year terms.
Joi Jenson and former school board trustee Mark Wilde are running against incumbents Brenda Clay and Dorothy Stewart.
In the Ypsilanti Public School District, four people are running for two four-year terms: incumbents Sarah Devaney, Thomas Reiber and Eric Temple and newcomer Edward Jackson.
Devaney and Temple were appointed to the seats of Cameron Getto and Amy Doyle following their resignations from the board. Reiber's term is up this year.
In addition, two people are running to fill the remaining one-year term caused by the resignation of former trustee Doyle. Kira Berman and Katherine Weathers will vie for that seat.
The elections will be held on May 6, 2008.
