Mehlville School District Board of Education members Venki Palamand and Larry Felton are running for re-election, and so far, no one has filed to challenge them.

Filing opened for the school board election this week, and Palamand and Felton both submitted their candidacies. 

Felton even waited in line for days to make sure his name was first on the ballot.
