As a result of the recent Board of Education elections held on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, three incumbents won three-year terms; Bartholomew McGloin (239), Patrick Law (239) and John Spencer (232). The fourth open Board seat was left to a write-in decision, however the top write-in candidate vote getter, Matthew Richards, withdrew/declined his election to the Board on Friday, May 23, 2025. The fourth Board seat became vacant by operation of law and does not automatically go to the next highest write in candidate vote getter.
The Board of Education may appoint an individual to serve in a vacant position. The Board plans to vote on the appointment of the second highest write-in candidate, Kerisha Hawthorne-Greer, to the vacant seat at its next meeting on June 17, 2025. Ms. Hawthorne-Greer has indicated her willingness to serve and the term for the vacant seat continues until the next election on Tuesday, May 19, 2026.
