Previous coverage: Conflicts in school board elections

Colorado held elections for 325 of the state's 978 school board seats on November 7. These elections took place across 103 of the state's 178 school districts. The remaining 75 districts canceled their elections due to a lack of candidates, accounting for 198 seats. Overall, 523 seats were up for election in 2023.

While Colorado's school board elections are officially nonpartisan, Ballotpedia researched publicly available voter files and candidate filing information to identify the partisan affiliation of candidates running in these elections.

Overall, of the 523 seats up for election:

• Registered Democrats won 20%
• Registered Republicans won 50%
• Registered independents or minor party candidates won 25%
• Candidates whose affiliation could not be identified won 6%

Those totals include uncontested and contested intra-party elections, which accounted for 52% and 9% of all seats up for election, respectively.

The remaining 39% of elections were between candidates with different partisan affiliations, described as contested inter-party elections. In these elections, registered Democrats and Republicans had win-rates of 58% and 55%, respectively.

This page includes other analyses of Colorado's school board elections, including open seats and incumbent defeat rates.

Incumbents ran for re-election to 51% of the seats, leaving 49% of seats open, above average compared to Ballotpedia's historical coverage.

Eighty-six percent of incumbents who ran for re-election won, but 55% ran unopposed. Of the 121 incumbents who faced opposition, 30% lost, above average compared to Ballotpedia's historical coverage.

This report also includes a catalog of every endorsement identified, along with breakdowns among the groups that issued the most endorsements.

Smart Choice Colorado issued the most endorsements overall, and the most among conservative endorsers. The group's endorsees had a 37% win rate in contested elections.

The Colorado Education Association and its local affiliates issued the most endorsements among liberal endorsers and had a 69% win rate in contested elections.

Election results

Colorado held 200 elections for 325 school board seats in 2023. An additional 198 seats were up for election in districts that ultimately canceled those elections due to a lack of candidates, leaving 523 seats up for election.

• Registered Democrats won 102 seats (20%)
• Registered Republicans won 260 seats (50%)
• Registered independents or minor party candidates won 129 seats (25%)
• Candidates whose affiliation could not be identified won 32 seats (6%)

The table below shows election results based on the party registration of the winning candidate. There were three types of elections:

• Uncontested, where there was no election. Ballotpedia was unable to provide a partisan analysis of uncontested races.
• Contested intra-party, where there was a contested election between members of the same political party; and,
• Contested inter-party, where there was a contested election between members of different political parties.

Figures show how many seats were won by candidates with the given party registration.

Uncontested elections

There were 142 uncontested elections for 274 seats, representing 52% of all seats up for election.

This includes data from 75 districts that canceled their elections due to a lack of candidates. There were 198 seats up for election in those districts, accounting for 72% of all uncontested seats and 37% of all seats up for election in 2023.

Contested intra-party elections

There were 31 contested intra-party elections for 45 seats, representing 9% of all seats up for election. Intra-party elections are contested elections, meaning at least one candidate must lose, but every candidate on the ballot has the same party affiliation.

There were eight intra-ideological elections between Democrats, 17 between Republicans, and six between independent or minor party candidates.

Contested inter-party elections

There were 105 contested inter-party elections for 204 seats, representing 39% of all seats up for election. Inter-party elections are contested elections featuring candidates with different party affiliations.

Republicans won a plurality of seats in contested inter-party elections (45%), followed by Democrats (28%), and independent or minor party candidates (26%).

Candidate information

Candidate ages

In Colorado, birth year information is made publicly available in the state's voter file. Using this data, Ballotpedia found that the average school board candidate was 48.6 years old. This increased to 50.3 years old for Democrats and decreased to 48.4 and 47.7 years old for Republicans and all other candidates, respectively.

The table below shows the distribution of the 523 seats up for election based on the age range of the candidates who won those seats.

Candidates aged 45 to 54 had the highest win rate, at 72% overall and 56% in contested elections.

Candidates aged 18 to 24 had the lowest win rate, but only three were on the ballot in 2023.

The next lowest was candidates aged 65 to 75, with a 64% win rate overall.

That changes when focusing only on contested elections, at which point those aged 25 to 34 had the next lowest win rate at 45%.

Methodology

Terms and definitions

Descriptive endorsements

This research focuses on descriptive endorsements, those that help describe the stances or policy positions of a candidate. This is based on the assumption that endorsers tend to endorse candidates holding one or multiple positions that align with those of the endorser. If an endorser's positions are not readily apparent, their endorsements are not considered descriptive endorsements.

Examples of endorsers whose endorsements might be considered descriptive include political parties, issue-based organizations with clear policy stances, unions, current or former elected officials, and current or former party officers.

Apart from this section, any mention of endorsements refers to descriptive endorsements.

Endorser

An endorser is an individual or organization that has made a descriptive endorsement. Examples of which include, but are not limited to:

Individuals:

• Elected or former partisan officials
• Current or former party officers
• Individuals associated with a clear policy stance

Organizations:

• Unions
• Issue-based organizations with clear policy stances
• Political parties

Process

Identifying endorsements

Ballotpedia gathers endorsements using four primary methods:

• Submissions: Readers can submit endorsement information to Ballotpedia directly using this link. Ballotpedia staff reviews all submitted information daily to determine whether it warrants inclusion. Reader-submitted endorsements must include a link to a source verifying the endorsement to be included.

• Candidate Connection Surveys: Candidates who complete Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection Survey are asked to share any endorsements they have received. Any submitted endorsements will appear in the candidate's survey responses. Ballotpedia staff also reviews every survey with endorsement information to determine whether those submissions include descriptive endorsements to add to our overall tracking process. Candidates are invited to submit links to sources for their endorsements, but this is not required.

• Outreach: Ballotpedia staff contacts endorsers directly to request endorsement lists. At the start of the election cycle, every endorser will receive an email requesting information. Ballotpedia staff also contacts endorsers to clarify information and, if we see they have endorsed one candidate, to determine whether they have also endorsed others.

• Direct research: Ballotpedia staff conducts direct research, regularly checking all identified endorsers and relevant news media in each state. This research might also include looking at specific districts or candidates where endorsement activity appears likely.

Recording endorsements

Once an endorsement has been identified, it is recorded along with the date it was made (if known), a link to the source of the endorsement, and the date Ballotpedia staff learned of the endorsement. If possible, Ballotpedia archives every web source used to identify an endorsement.

For every recorded endorsement, Ballotpedia staff prepare a brief summary of the endorser. For individuals, this might include the party they are affiliated with, their statements regarding a particular policy, or their electoral history. For organizations, this might include the standards by which they issue endorsements, their mission statement, or any other statements regarding a particular policy. When available, Ballotpedia uses direct quotes from endorsers in these summaries, which appear beside each endorsement to provide added context to readers.

Labeling

After identifying an endorsement, Ballotpedia applies a partisan ideology label based on the policies the endorser supports or affiliation with other partisan organizations. Those labels are:

• Liberal: the endorser is either affiliated with the Democratic Party, supports traditionally liberal education policies, or opposes traditionally conservative education policies without also opposing traditionally liberal policies.
• Conservative: the endorser is either affiliated with the Republican Party, supports traditionally conservative education policies, or opposes traditionally liberal education policies without also opposing traditionally conservative policies.
• Neutral: the endorser is not affiliated with either major party and does not take specific policy stances, supportive or otherwise, examples of which include local newspapers.
• Unclear: the endorser would be of interest to voters, but Ballotpedia could not identify a partisan ideology, examples of which include former school board members.

As part of this analysis, Ballotpedia then uses the labels applied to endorsers to determine the partisan ideology of the endorsed candidate. Those resulting candidate ideology labels are:

• Liberal: the candidate received an endorsement from a liberal endorser and none from conservative endorsers.
• Conservative: the candidate received an endorsement from a conservative endorser and none from liberal endorsers.
• Mixed: the candidate received endorsements from liberal and conservative endorsers.
• Other: the candidate received endorsements from either neutral or unclear endorsers and none from liberal or conservative endorsers.

While candidates can receive a mixture of endorsements, primacy is given to liberal and conservative endorsements. For example, if a candidate received endorsements from liberal and neutral endorsers, their ideology label would be liberal.

Timing

Ballotpedia tracks and gathers endorsement information throughout the election cycle. If a district holds primary elections, endorsements are only added on-site after the primary date.

Voter registration

While most school board elections are officially nonpartisan, meaning candidates appear on the ballot without party labels, the state makes voter registration information publicly available. Ballotpedia used this information to identify each candidate's party registration in Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and South Dakota. Note: a candidate's party registration status does not necessarily indicate the candidate's personal ideologies. Many voters register to vote with one party and later find themselves more aligned with another party but do not update their registration as such. Understanding that their registration information is effectively public, voters may also choose a certain registration or affiliate with no party, with that in mind.

Ballotpedia first compared candidate names and school districts to the publicly available voter file to tie candidates with their party registration. The associated voter information was logged if the candidate’s name only appeared once in the school district. If the candidate’s name appeared multiple times in a single school district, Ballotpedia looked at each voter file entry to match the registration address with other identifiable information associated with the candidate. This method accounted for all duplicate entries.

If a candidate was registered under a different name than the one they filed to run with (i.e. registered as Robert Smith but running as Bob Smith), Ballotpedia used a variety of methods to pinpoint the candidate’s voter file information including:

• Looking for every person with the same last name as the candidate in the school district;
• Identifying known associates (i.e. children, spouses), and using public records to determine if any households had changed addresses;
• Utilizing publicly available social media information; or,
• A mixture of these three approaches.

Labeling

After identifying an endorsement, Ballotpedia applies a partisan ideology label based on the policies the endorser supports or affiliation with other partisan organizations. Those labels are:

• Liberal: the endorser is either affiliated with the Democratic Party or supports traditionally liberal education policies.
• Conservative: the endorser is either affiliated with the Republican Party or supports traditionally conservative education policies.
• Neutral: the endorser is not affiliated with either major party and does not take specific policy stances, examples of which include local newspapers.
• Unclear: the endorser would be of interest to voters, but Ballotpedia could not identify a partisan ideology, examples of which include former school board members.

As part of this analysis, Ballotpedia then uses the labels applied to endorsers to determine the partisan ideology of the endorsed candidate. Those resulting candidate ideology labels are:

• Liberal: the candidate received an endorsement from a liberal endorser and none from conservative endorsers.
• Conservative: the candidate received an endorsement from a conservative endorser and none from liberal endorsers.
• Mixed: the candidate received endorsements from liberal and conservative endorsers.
• Other: the candidate received endorsements from either neutral or unclear endorsers and none from liberal or conservative endorsers.

While candidates can receive a mixture of endorsements, primacy is given to liberal and conservative endorsements. For example, if a candidate received endorsements from liberal and neutral endorsers, their ideology label would be liberal.

Voter registration

While Colorado's school board elections are officially nonpartisan, meaning candidates appear on the ballot without party labels, the state makes voter registration information publicly available. Ballotpedia used this information to identify each candidate's party registration. Note: a candidate's party registration status does not necessarily indicate the candidate's personal ideologies. Many voters register to vote with one party and, later on, find themselves more aligned with another party but do not update their registration as such. Understanding that their registration information is effectively public, voters may also choose a certain registration, or affiliate with no party, with that in mind.
