What voters are deciding
The election determines representation on the district’s school governing board. Board decisions involve education policy, spending priorities and oversight of district operations. Residents should use the exact trustee-area or seat label when comparing these returns with their own ballot.
These are unofficial returns from the November 3 general election. Additional valid ballots and canvass review can change the totals or ranking. In multi-seat contests, candidate selections are not the number of individual voters. For any district extending into another county, compare the other county’s return before drawing a districtwide conclusion.
