Four seats on the Beloit School District school board in Wisconsin were up for general election on April 5, 2022. Eleven candidates ran in the primary election on February 15, 2022. The top eight vote-getters advanced to the general election. The filing deadline for this election was January 7, 2022.[1]

Eight candidates advanced to the general election: incumbents Megan Miller and Gregg Schneider, Brian Anderson, Torie Champeny, Katherine Larson, Ryan McKillips, Christine Raleigh, and J’Juan Winfield. The other incumbent running for re-election, Allison Semrau, missed advancing from the primary by 92 votes. The other two candidates to not advance were DeVon McIntyre and Matthew Windmoeller-Schmit. A fourth incumbent, Joyce Ruff, did not run for re-election.[2]

The three candidates to receive the most votes—Miller, Anderson, and Schneider— won full three-year terms. Winfield, who received the fourth-most votes, won a one-year term.[1]

Between the 2016-17 and 2020-21 school years, enrollment in the district dropped from 6,943 students to 5,923 students, resulting in a loss of approximately $10 million in student aid for the district.[3] In information candidates shared with Beloit Daily News, the majority of the non-incumbent candidates mentioned declining student achievement rates as a key reason they are running.[4] Several candidates suggested interviewing parents of children who had left the district to try and address issues leading to the decreased enrollment.[5]
