ELECTED SCHOOL BOARD WINS BIG

16 of 16 precincts reporting. Yes 5,539 (82 percent) No 1,203 (18 percent)

Mike Bandy, who voted in Fincastle, said he believed elected school boards would produce "more turnover. It won't be as clique-ish, so to speak."

Keith Brown, 19, another Fincastle voter, said citizens will be more aware of who's on the School Board when it's elected. As it is now, Brown said, there's usually just a tiny notice in the paper when a board member is appointed, so "nobody really knows and they don't pay much attention to it."
