Education on the ballot

A total of 20 Virginia school districts among America's largest school districts by enrollment held elections for 103 seats on November 3, 2015. While all Virginia school board elections are nonpartisan by law, observers have noted that partisanship still has a strong influence in some districts. Fairfax County Public Schools is one example of such a school district.[4][5]

Prior to 1995, Virginia school board members were appointed. State law was changed, however, to allow localities to decide between elected and appointed boards.[4] The statute reads:

“  | If a majority of the qualified voters voting in such referendum vote in favor of changing the method of selecting school board members to direct election by the voters, then the members of the school board shall be elected by popular vote. Elections of school board members in a county, city, or town shall be held to coincide with the elections for members of the governing body of the county, city, or town at the regular general election in November or the regular general election in May, as the case may be.[6] | ”

Education on the ballot

A total of 19 Wisconsin school districts among America's largest school districts by enrollment held elections in 2015 for 51 seats. Twelve of those districts were in the country's top 1,000 largest school districts. All of the elections were scheduled on April 7, 2015. Because no more than two candidates filed for any board position in these districts, none of these races required a primary election.

Here are several quick facts about Wisconsin's school board elections in 2015:

* Twelve of the districts are among the top 1,000 largest school districts by enrollment in the United States and enrolled a total of 249,634 K-12 students during the 2012-2013 school year. The seven districts not in the top 1,000 largest nationwide had a combined enrollment of 51,721 during the same period.[1]
* The largest school district by enrollment with an election in 2015 was Milwaukee Public Schools with 78,363 K-12 students.
* The smallest school district by enrollment with an election in 2015 was West Bend School District with 6,920 K-12 students.
* Milwaukee Public Schools had the most seats on the ballot in 2015 with five seats up for election.
* Nine districts were tied the fewest seats on the ballot in 2015 with two seats up for election in each.

The district listed below served 301,355 K-12 students during the 2012-2013 school year, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.[1] Click on the district name for more information on the district and its school board elections.
