Three seats on the Collier County School Board were up for general election on August 26, 2014. Since no candidate received 50 percent plus one of the general election votes in District 3, the top two vote recipients advanced to the runoff election on November 4, 2014.

Roy Terry III was the only incumbent to seek re-election in 2014 and defeated Thomas Andler in District 5. Kathleen Greenawalt, Kelly Mason and Jacob Winge ran to replace Pat Carroll, who did not file for re-election in District 1. Lichter won that seat. Luis Bernal, Erika B. Donalds, JB Holmes and Kathy Ryan were seeking election to the District 3 seat held by Barbara Berry. Donalds defeated Ryan in the runoff election to win the District 3 seat.
