Two of the five seats on the Brevard Public Schools Board of Education were up for by-district general election on November 8, 2016. Four candidates filed to run for the District 3 seat in the by-district primary election on August 30, 2016: newcomers Darcey Addo, Richard Charbonneau, Tina Descovich, and Larry Finch. Addo and Descovich advanced to the general election because no candidates received more than 50 percent of the primary vote, and Descovich won the seat. For the District 4 seat, incumbent Karen Henderson was joined in the primary election by three challengers: Dana DeSantis, Dean Paterakis, and Matt Susin. Henderson and Susin advanced from the primary election to the general election, and Susin successfully ousted the incumbent.[2][3]
