- Jefferson County Public Schools, Kentucky (click to expand)
Four of the board’s seven seats were up for election—Districts, 1, 3, 5, and 6.
Better Schools Kentucky PAC, an arm of the Jefferson County Teachers Association (JCTA), endorsed incumbent Diane Porter (District 1), incumbent James Craig (District 2), incumbent Linda Duncan (District 5), and incumbent Corrie Shull (District 6).[1]
The Jefferson County Republican Party endorsed Charlie Bell (District 1), J. Stephen Ullum (District 3), Gregory Puccetti (District 5), and Misty Glin (District 6).[2]
If the Republican-backed candidates win, it would change the board's partisan makeup. If the incumbents win, the balance of power on the board would be preserved. At a rally on Oct. 28, U.S. Sen.Rand Paul (R) said voters should remove all four incumbents: “How long have the Jefferson schools been failing us? Decades. They keep electing the same people. Maybe it's time for a new slate of people on the school board."
As of the 2020-2021 school year, Jefferson County Public Schools had 100,348 students, 6,160 teachers, and 172 schools. It is Kentucky’s largest school district by enrollment.
- Frederick County Public Schools, Maryland (click to expand)
Four out of the district’s seven at-large seats were for election. Seven candidates ran in the elections, includingKaren Yoho, an incumbent. The seven candidates divided themselves into two slates—the Students First Slate and the Education Not Indoctrination (ENI) slate.[3][4] The Students First Slate, which includes Yoho,Ysela Bravo,Rae Gallagher, andDean Rose, says it is committed to “Safe, welcoming schools for all,” a “Diverse, well-trained staff,” and “Family & community involvement.” The ENI slate, which includesOlivia Angolia,Nancy Allen, andCindy Rose, says it is running to “ensure that feelings don’t define truth, that academically-sound curricula are adopted, that decision-making is transparent, and that parents are respected.” The Frederick County Teachers Association (FCTA) endorsed the Students First slate, while the 1776 Project PAC endorsed the ENI.[5]
As of the 2020-2021 school year, Frederick County Public Schools had 43,828 students, 2,693 teachers, and 68 schools.
- Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, North Carolina (click to expand)
Six nonpartisan seats on the nine-member board are up for election. The seats were originally scheduled to be on the ballot on Nov. 2, 2021, but were moved to 2022 due to redistricting delays. Eighteeen candidates are running for the six seats. Incumbents are running four of the races—Rhonda Cheek (District 1), Thelma Byers-Bailey (District 2), Carol Sawyer (District 4), and Sean Strain (District 6).
InDistrict 1, Cheek is running against Melissa Easley, Hamani Fisher, Bill Fountain, and Ro Lawsin. Easley and Fountain completed Ballotpedia’s Candidate Connection survey. Cheek, who assumed office in 2009, is a registered Republican who has said “I've been very nonpartisan in my service to the school board because kids don't need politicians, they need people who care.”
The Mecklenburg County Republican Party endorsed Lawsin.[6] Lawsin said, “The lack of transparency and open communication by the current board members to the community is dismal and borders on dismissive when parents are pleading for answers and solutions to the many problems plaguing CMS.” The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Association of Educators (CMAE), the county’s largest teacher organization, endorsed both Cheek and Easley, a registered Democrat. The African American Caucus also endorsed Easely.
In her survey response, Easley said, “The three areas that I am personally passionate about our culture in CMS, school safety and student achievement.”
The Black Political Caucus endorsed Fisher, a Democrat. Fisher said, “as a board member, I'm looking for three C's, I'm looking for character, the character, the next superintendent, that superintendent needs to have the character that is going to reflect the educational values of our community. That's why they elect us as a board because they want us to represent their educational values.”[7]
Fountain, who is unaffiliated with a political party, said, “The eight women on this board have forced in woke, disturbing, disrupting agents like the pornographic books, gender identification, that I think is spinning the moral compass of our students from wrong to right."[8]
InDistrict 4, incumbent Sawyer, a Democrat, is running against Clara Kennedy Witherspoon and Stephanie Sneed, both Democrats. Sawyer was first elected in 2017, defeating Sneed 47.4% to 30.98%. Sneed also ran unsuccessfully for an at-large seat in 2019, and chaired the Black Political Caucus before resigning to run this cycle.
Low-performing schools in the district have been an issue in the race. Sawyer said voters should choose her over her opponents because “I understand how policy can change outcomes. I shepherded creation of a new Equity Policy and a new Community Equity Committee. Establishing that committee was difficult – several board members opposed its creation, but I persisted because I was committed to having community members engaging with the board on our equity work.”[9]
Witherspoon and Sneed completed Ballotpedia’s Candidate Connection survey.
Sneed said, if elected, she would focus “on pandemic learning losses, closing achievement gaps; broadening advanced performers opportunities; and student and family access to mental health support to ensure all students are college or career ready.” Witherspoon said, “Children and their families are our school district's most important stakeholders. Therefore, I will be sensitive to the needs of all children and their parents, focusing on equity and equality for all schools.”
The CMAE endorsed Sawyer, while the Black Political Caucus and the African American Caucus endorsed Sneed. According to WFAE 90.7, Charlotte’s NPR station, a group called Success 4 CMS endorsed Sneed and put up a billboard that said, “Carol Sawyer Voted For Empty Classrooms.”[10] The president of the local Mom’s for Liberty chapter, Brooke Weiss, tweeted that people should support Sneed to oust Sawyer, though Mom’s for Liberty did not formally endorse Sneed.
As of the 2020-2021 school year, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools had 149,845 students, 9,183 teachers, and 176 schools.

Historical election data
Methodology note: This report does not include write-in candidates unless an incumbent ran as a write-in.
From 2018 to 2024, Ballotpedia covered elections for 6,060 school board seats in 2,070 districts. Ballotpedia normally covers school board elections in the 200 largest school districts by student enrollment and the school districts that overlap the 100 largest cities by population. However, in 2019, we also covered all school districts up for election in the state of North Carolina. Those districts are included in this data.
We found that between 24% and 40% of elections were unopposed each year, that incumbents won between 51% and 61% of seats each year, and that between 79% and 89% of incumbents who sought re-election won each year.
Details on each year's election statistics can be found in the table below.
