Two of the five seats on the Wood County Schools Board of Education were up for general election on May 10, 2016. In his bid for re-election, incumbent Tim Yeater faced nine challengers—Ed Alfred, John Badgley, Joseph Michael Britton, Belinda Fetty, Lisa Moser, Kale Santee, Eric "Rick" Tennant, Ron Tice, and Beth Wade.[1][3] Tice and Tennant won the two seats.[2]
Though the election was held at large, only two members from the same geographical district could be on the board during a given term. Badgley, Fetty, Tice, and Wade were from District A, and Yeater, Alfred, Britton, Moser, Santee, and Tennant were from District B.[1] Because of the makeup of the board at the time of the election, only one member could be elected from District B. That meant a District B challenger had to defeat Yeater in order to represent that seat. Up to two members could be elected from District A.[4]
