Multiple other people are still in the Board of Education race, which will be competitive. Current member Will Smith is running for reelection, while newcomers William Bailey, Ken Hayes and Eric Walker are running as well.
Three people will be elected to the board of education, which has seven members. Current members Dion Sampson and Gabriela Pickett are not running for reelection, so at least two new people will be sworn onto the board of education next year.
In 2021, four members were elected: board president Chrisondra Goodwine, Joe Lacey, Jocelyn Rhynard and Karen Wick-Gagnet. Those members were sworn in during January 2022 and their terms will not expire until 2026.
This upcoming election is scheduled for Nov. 7.
