Highlands still decides School Board District 5: Brown versus Andy Tuck on November 3
Sebring is the county seat. The county-only values gap on the live November 3 file is Highlands School Board District 5: Gary Brown versus Andy Tuck, both printed nonpartisan. That pair would be wrong in Hardee or Polk, and Andy Tuck is not Frank Youngman (Commission District 4) or Arlene Tuck. Savannah Casto lost August 18 (17.55 percent). Official pack: Tuck 48.67 percent and Brown 33.78 percent advanced as the top two.
