Three of the seven seats on the Rochester Public Schools School Board were up for general election on November 8, 2016. In his bid for re-election to Seat 1, incumbent Richard Hinds was defeated by challenger Don Barlow. Seat 3 incumbent Deborah Seelinger won re-election after defeating John League in a primary election on August 9, 2016, and Bobbie Gallas in the general election. The race for the open Seat 7 featured candidates Ahmed Ragab and Mark Schleusner. Schleusner won election to the seat.[4][5][6]

League announced that he was dropping out of the race on July 24, 2016. Because the candidate withdrawal deadline had already passed, his name still appeared on the primary election ballot.[7]
