2016
Three of the five seats on the Deer Valley Unified School District school board were up for at-large general election on November 8, 2016. Incumbents Ann Ordway and Michael Gregoire ran for re-election, though Gregoire was listed on the ballot as Greg Gregoire. They were joined by four newcomers: Jenny Frank, Darcy Tweedy, Jennie Paperman, and Bob Stambach. Ordway won another term on the board and was joined in her victory by Frank and Tweedy. Bayer's name did not appear in the election results. There was no primary.[1][2][3]
Board incumbent Ron Bayer initially filed to run for re-election in this race, but withdrew his candidacy. However, his name still appeared on the ballot. Tweedy and Stambach unsuccessfully ran for election to the Deer Valley board in 2014. Stambach ran a joint campaign with fellow candidate Ann O'Brien, who was elected.

Funding
School board candidates in Arizona were not required to file a campaign finance report if they did not raise or spend more than $500. If they planned to stay under this threshold, they were permitted to file an exemption statement. This rendered them exempt from all other campaign finance reporting, provided they did not exceed the $500 threshold. Otherwise, candidates were not required to file any report until they raised or spent more than the threshold limit. At that point, they had to file a Statement of Organization within five business days from when the threshold was reached. The pre-general campaign finance report was due November 4, 2016. All campaign finance filing was handled by the Arizona Secretary of State.[4]
