Michael Frink is listed among five candidates for two full-term Rochester Community Schools board seats in the November 3, 2026, election. Two other candidates are competing for a partial term that ends December 31, 2028.

On November 3, 2026, Rochester voters will choose members of the Rochester Community Schools Board of Education. The ballot includes two full-term seats and one partial-term seat. That distinction matters.

The available candidate information lists Michael Frink in the full-term field with Lawrence Halushka, Lisa Haulshka, incumbent Sherry Wynn Perdue and Jamie Rawcliffe. It does not support describing Frink as the only candidate for a full-term seat. An independent election report details the candidate roster and the structure of the race.

Each full-term position lasts six years. The partial-term contest lists incumbent Laurin Gracey-Parker and Deanna Haless. That term ends on December 31, 2028.

The corrected listing settles an earlier question about Frink's place on the ballot. The available roster puts him among the full-term candidates, not in the partial-term contest. The record is clear.

Rochester Community Schools serves Rochester, most of Rochester Hills and Oakland Township, plus parts of Auburn Hills, Orion Township, Shelby Township and Washington Township. The district crosses municipal lines. Voters should check their district and ballot details through the appropriate Oakland County administration election channels and the State of Michigan Department of State election records before voting.

The report about Frink does not include a campaign platform, policy proposals, endorsements, fundraising information or statements on district-specific issues. It confirms his place on the candidate roster. It does not explain how he would approach school finance, academic programs, student services, labor agreements or board governance.

The Rochester school board race is separate from municipal elections in Farmington, Farmington Hills and Rochester. It is also separate from the Farmington Public Schools board. Each district has its own boundaries, governing board and election administration. Neighboring school systems should not be treated as interchangeable.

Three procedural facts are settled. The election is scheduled for November 3, 2026. Two full-term Rochester Community Schools board seats are on the ballot. One partial-term seat ends December 31, 2028.

Frink is listed in the full-term field with Halushka, Haulshka, Wynn Perdue and Rawcliffe. Gracey-Parker and Haless are listed for the partial term. More campaign positions may appear before Election Day, but those claims should come directly from the candidates or their campaigns. Until then, the available record supports identifying Michael Frink as one of several candidates for a full-term Rochester Community Schools board seat. It does not support calling him the sole candidate or a confirmed candidate for the partial-term position.
