2017
Five of the seven seats on the Beaverton School District school board in Oregon were up for at-large general election on May 16, 2017. Four seats were originally scheduled to be on the ballot, but one additional seat—Zone 7—was on the ballot for a two-year term due to a board vacancy.
Zones 1, 2, 4, and 5 each saw its respective incumbent win re-election unopposed: Susan Greenberg, Anne Bryan, Donna Tyner, and LeeAnn Larsen were each re-elected to an additional term. The open Zone 7 seat saw more opposition, with four filing for the seat. Newcomer Tom Colett defeated fellow candidates Jen Fife-Adams, Sheri Wantland, and Matt Anthes-Washburn to win a term on the board.[1][2]

Funding
The filing deadline in Oregon for a campaign transaction is typically no later than 30 calendar days. However, beginning on the 42nd day before an election day and through the date of the election, a transaction is due no later than seven calendar days after the date it occurred. The dates for the beginning and ending of the seven-day reporting period for the 2017 Oregon school board elections were:[3]
- April 4, 2017 (Seven day campaign finance reporting begins)
- May 16, 2017 (Seven day campaign finance reporting ends)
A school board candidate in Oregon must form a candidate committee unless he or she meets all of the following conditions:[4][5]
- The candidate elects to serve as his or her own treasurer.
- The candidate does not have an existing candidate committee.
- The candidate does not expect to receive or spend more than $750 during a calendar year (including personal funds).
A candidate committee must file a Statement of Organization with the Elections Division of the Oregon Secretary of State within three business days of first receiving or spending money. A form including campaign account information must accompany the Statement of Organization.[4][6]
Candidate committees that expect to receive or spend $3,500 or more in a calendar year are required to report all transactions. A committee that does not expect to receive or spend this much is still required to file a Statement of Organization and designate a campaign bank account, but does not have to file transactions. Instead, they must file a Certificate of Limited Contributions and Expenditures.[4][7]
