Funding
School board candidates in Michigan were required to file pre-election campaign finance reports with their county election offices by October 28, 2016. Post-election reports were due by December 8, 2016.[2]
In Michigan, candidates are prohibited from receiving contributions from corporations or labor organizations. Within 10 days of becoming a candidate, candidates must form a candidate committee. Following the creation of the committee, candidates have an additional 10 days to register the committee with the school district filing official by filing a statement of organization. A candidate committee that does not expect to receive or spend more than $1,000 during the election cycle is eligible to receive a reporting waiver, which allows that committee not to file pre-election, post-election, and annual campaign statements.[3]

Candidates received a total of $6,710.00 and spent a total of $12,632.11 as of October 30, 2016, according to the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds.[4]

Campaign themes
2016
Przeslawski provided the following statement on his priorities for the district to the League of Women Voters Oakland Area:
| “ |
A priority is understanding the District enrollment and accurately projecting it. I will continue to work with the Administration and other Board members to do this. Existing home sales have increased, and residents report that young families are moving into their neighborhoods. We have to avoid not having the schools nor land to build if the enrollment increases. Another issue is getting the District financially stable again. The reserve funds dropped over $20 million in six years. This has to get resolved and I will use my background to help fix this. We also need to make this District attractive to families again. The uncertainty of school closures has hurt our reputation. Additionally, we have lost neighborhood schools. Kids should ride a bus six miles, and we have to stop shuffling them from school to school. The kids deserve better and I will represent them and all residents.[5][6] |
