Opposition
The election in Manchester featured 14 of the 15 seats on the board up for general election on November 3, 2015. The last seat, held by Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas at the time of the election, was elected separately on the ballot. A primary election was held on September 15, 2015, to narrow down the number of candidates to two per seat in each race for the general election. Wards 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 12 held primary elections.
In the Ward 1 race, incumbent Sarah S. Ambrogi defeated challenger Kevin McCue for the seat. Fellow challenger Timothy Sawyer lost in the primary election.
Nine board members faced competition in their re-election bids, while another three ran unopposed and won re-election to their seats. The elections in wards 4 and 5 did not feature any incumbents. Neither Ward 4 member Amy L. Bradley nor Ward 5 member Ted Rokas filed for re-election.
Several rematches from the 2013 election took place, including Ward 2 member Debra G. Langton and challenger Sarah L. Browning, Ward 6 member Dan Bergeron and challenger Bill Hughen, and Ward 12 member Constance Van Houten and challenger Christine Duffley. The Ward 12 race also featured former board member Roger Beauchamp.

Sawyer published the following statement on his campaign website:
| “ | Goal 1: Talented Leaders, Teachers and Staff
As a parent of three children in Manchester public schools I have a vested interest in our children’s success. Supporting teachers and students in the classroom, and providing more resources to the classroom is the key. No more excuses. We can do this! We should expect excellence from our public schools, and focus on resources in the class room. Manchester schools are something we should be proud of. Yet some of our students and schools are struggling. We need to address the achievement gap honestly and urgently. All our children deserve to reach their full potential. We need to provide them with the opportunity. Goal 2: Positive relationship with Manchester Alderman We need to have first-class schools. No excuses. Our city needs people who will get the job done! Where others have failed for so long, I will not. I will work side by side with the Manchester Alderman to insure a positive outcome for all. Goal 3: Quality Education for all By working together, (School Board, Manchester Alderman, teachers, parents and students) we will ensure all of our children will benefit from a higher quality of education regardless of abilty level[3] |
