May 2 is election day for municipal elections in the Flathead Valley, including school board and school levy elections in Kalispell, Columbia Falls, Whitefish and several other districts around the valley. Flathead Beacon reporter Denali Sagner joins host Micah to offer a preview of the various races that will show up on school ballots this spring.

Later, Micah runs through the news of the week including the decision by the Kalispell Public School board to hire an interim superintendent to replace Micah Hill, the recent vote by the Columbia Falls City Council denying a new development east of the Flathead River and the city of Kalispell’s acquisition of additional property for the Parkline Trail.
