A Flint City Hall press release describes the positions as follows:
- A two-year partial seat with a term of November 2022 (following certification of election results) until December 31, 2024. This is to fulfill the seat vacated by Vera Perry which was fulfilled by the appointment of Allen Gilbert by the Board of Education on 09/29/21.
- A four-year partial seat with a term of November 2022 (following certification of election results) until December 31, 2026.
