Funding
School board candidates in Arizona were not required to file a campaign finance report if they did not raise or spend more than $500. If they planned to stay under this threshold, they were permitted to file an exemption statement. This rendered them exempt from all other campaign finance reporting, provided they did not exceed the $500 threshold. Otherwise, candidates were not required to file any report until they raised or spent more than the threshold limit. At that point, they had to file a Statement of Organization within five business days from when the threshold was reached. The pre-general campaign finance report was due November 4, 2016. All campaign finance filing was handled by the Arizona Secretary of State.[3]
2014
Incumbents Jim Lemmon and Melanie Beikman's seats were up for election, but Beikman did not file to run for re-election by the general election filing deadline. Lemmon faced Patrick Morales and Harvey Gibson in the race for the at-large seats.[4]
In addition to the two four-year terms, a two-year term was also up for election following the death of board member Kathy Espinoza on July 10, 2014. The only candidate for this position was Evan D. Rogers, a write-in candidate. Because no other write-in candidates filed for the race, the election for that seat was canceled. Rogers was appointed to the governing board by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors on September 10, 2014.
Results
The election for the two-year term was canceled due to a lack of opposition. Rogers was appointed to the board by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors on September 10, 2014.
