Eight seats on the Berkeley County School District school board in South Carolina were up for general election on November 8, 2022. The filing deadline for this election was August 15, 2022.
On May 18, 2022, a new state law went into effect eliminating the District 9 seat and adding an at-large seat to the school board. Each of the existing eight seats were scheduled for election in 2022. The at-large seat did not appear on the 2022 ballot. According to the law, the school board chairperson would serve as the at-large member from the 2022 election until the 2024 election. At the 2024 election, an at-large member would be elected to a four-year term. Odd-numbered seats were scheduled to be up for election in 2024, meaning that members elected in 2022 would serve a two-year term, rather than the regular four-year term.[1][2][3]
