2016
- See also: Guilford County Schools elections (2016)
Nine of the nine seats on the Guilford County Schools school board were up for general election on November 8, 2016. Every seat on the board was up for election due to the redrawing of district lines. The redistricting reduced the board from 11 to nine members, and eliminated one of the two at-large seats on the board. The at-large and even-numbered district representatives served two-year terms, and odd-numbered district representatives served for four years. After the first term, the at-large and even-number seats were up for election to four-year terms. The year 2016 was also the first the district changed from nonpartisan to partisan elections. A primary election was held on March 15, 2016, for Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8.[1][2][3]
The at-large position on the board saw one Republican and one Democrat each who filed for the seat; they were Alan Hawkes and Alan W. Duncan, respectively. Duncan secured victory to the seat. Two Democratic candidates filed for District 1 and faced each other in the primary: T. Dianne Bellamy-Small and Aaron Keith McCullough. Bellamy-Small won the primary and, having faced no formal opposition in the general election, won the spot on the board. In District 2, Republican candidates John Bradley Nosek and Anita Sharpe vied for the seat in the primary. Sharpe won the primary and defeated Jeff Belton (D) in the general election. Similarly, in District 3 two Republicans faced each other in the primary: Brian Pearce and Pat Tillman. Tillman won and advanced to the general election to win against Angelo Kidd (D). In District 4, two Republicans—Paul Daniels and Linda Welborn—filed for the seat. Welborn emerged victorious and won the seat after she found herself unopposed in the general election. District 5 saw Democratic candidate Darlene Garrett file along with Republican candidate Mary Sauer and unaffiliated candidate Lois Bailey. Bailey initially missed the candidate filing deadline on December 21, 2015, so she had to collect the signatures of 1,756 registered voters to appear on the ballot. Garrett won the race. In District 6, Democratic candidate Khem Irby filed along with Republican candidate and District 2 incumbent Ed Price. However, Price dropped out of the race and was replaced on the ballot by Republican candidate Wes Cashwell, who won the spot on the board. Democrat Byron Gladden defeated unaffiliated candidate Bettye Jenkins in District 7. Jenkins also missed the filing deadline but made it on the ballot by gathering enough petition signatures. District 8 saw two Democratic candidates file: Deena Hayes-Greene and Matthew Stafford. Since Hayes-Greene was unopposed in the general, she won the seat.[4][5][6][7]
