Separate areas, separate seats

Each trustee area elects its own representative. These totals concern school board governance and should be read area by area. They cannot be added into a single districtwide candidate ranking.

The returns are unofficial. Additional valid ballots and canvass review can alter totals. The county’s label “final unofficial election-night results” refers to the election-night reporting stage, not certified final results.
