GROSSE POINTES/HARPER WOODS — When it comes to the Grosse Pointe Board of Education, voters apparently want to see change. In a hotly contested election, voters selected incumbent Board member Colleen Worden, of Grosse Pointe Woods — the highest vote-getter in the race — along with Tim Klepp, of Grosse Pointe Park; Laura Hull, of Grosse Pointe City; and Clint Derringer, of Grosse Pointe City. The four candidates, who ran as a slate, defeated a separate slate that consisted of Board member Terry Collins, of Grosse Pointe Park; Kate Elizabeth Hopper, of Grosse Pointe Farms; Melissa Fradenburg, of Grosse Pointe Farms; and Heath Marshall Roberts, of Grosse Pointe Park, candidates who had the support of Board President Sean Cotton and the board majority. Diana Gellci of Grosse Pointe City, who didn’t align herself with either slate, received the smallest number of votes among the candidates.
