Elections
Voter and candidate information
The Racine Unified School District school board consists of nine members elected to three-year terms on a staggered basis. All members are elected by district, and elections are held every year. The board was elected at large until the 2016 election, when all nine seats were on the ballot following state legislation passed in July 2015 impacting the district's board representation.
School board candidates in Wisconsin had to be U.S. citizens, at least 18 years old, and residents of the school district for a minimum of 28 consecutive days before filing as a candidate. They also could not be disqualified from voting under Wisconsin law.[2]
To get on the ballot, school board candidates had to file nomination papers with the school district clerk by January 2, 2018. If incumbents whose terms were up for re-election did not file to run in the race and did not file written notification that they would not be running, the candidate filing deadline could have been extended until January 5, 2018. The terms of candidates elected in the race started on April 23, 2018.[2]

Issues in the district
District improves state rating, no longer faces takeover, partial dismantling
A 2015 Wisconsin state law allows schools within districts that meet certain criteria to leave the school district and enter the Opportunity Schools and Partnership Program (OSPP). To be eligible, school districts must receive intradistrict transfer aid, have more than 15,000 students, and be rated as fails to meet expectations for two years in a row. Schools in the OSPP would be managed by program commissioners who are appointed by the district's county executive. As of the 2017-2018 school year, no districts had schools in the OSPP.[6]
Six schools in Wisconsin had over 15,000 students in the 2015-2016 school year, including Racine Unified School District. As Racine Unified School District also received intradistrict transfer aid and was given a score of 48.1 out of 100, or a fails to meet expectations rating, during the 2015-2016 school year, the district was close to meeting all three criteria. Had the district received another failing grade for the 2016-2017 school year, an advisory referendum could have gone to the ballot for voters to decide whether to split the district and have some schools enter the OSPP. An amendment to the state budget in September 2017 changed the fails to meet expectations requirement from two years to three years to allow Racine Unified School District more time to improve their rating. During the 2016-2017, the district received a rating of meets few expectations, with a score of 59.3 out of 100, meaning it no longer faced dismantling.[6][7][8]

- ↑ State statutes stipulate that an individual must have resided in Wisconsin for at least 28 days prior to the election in order to register to vote in that election. However, the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin ruled that "the increase of the durational residency requirement from 10 days to 28 days is unconstitutional." Consequently, the earlier 10-day requirement took effect once again. An appeal of the district court's decision was pending as of September 20, 2016.
