Five of the nine seats on the Scranton school board were up for general election on November 3, 2015. There was a primary election on May 19, 2015.

Incumbents Paul Duffy (D/R) and Carol Owens Oleski (D/R) won re-election, while Democratic challengers Bob Lesh and James Timlin joined the board. Cross-filed candidate Tom Schuster also won a seat on the board. They defeated Republican candidates Larry Wynne and Marcel Lisi in the general election. No independent candidates filed to run in the general election.[2]

Joseph Matyjevich and Adam Swieciaszek were defeated in the primary election and, therefore, did not proceed to the general election. Greg Popil withdrew from the race after the primary election.
