Four of the seven seats on the Modesto City Schools Board of Education in California were up for nonpartisan general election on November 7, 2017. In their bids for re-election, incumbents Cindy Marks and Chad Brown ran unopposed for the Trustee Area 1 and 3 seats, respectively. Those races did not appear on the ballot, and the two incumbents won re-election by default. Rickey McGill, Michael Scheid, and Charlene West ran for the open Trustee Area 5 seat, and West won election to the board. The race for the open Trustee Area 7 seat included Matthew Harrington, Adolfo Lopez, and Ryan Schambers, and Lopez won election to the board.[1][2][3]
The 2017 election was the first time the school district used the by-district election method. Prior to 2017, school board members were elected at large.[4]
