Opposition

Two of the seven seats on the New Haven Public Schools Board of Education were up for election on November 3, 2015. The board is elected by district.

Democrat Ed Joyner ran against Republican James O'Connell and won the District 1 seat. Democrat Darnell Goldson ran unopposed for the District 2 seat. Republican William Wynn Jr. originally filed to run for the District 2 seat, but withdrew from the race before the general election.[1][3]

In 2015, the New Haven Public Schools Board of Education decided to transition from an appointed board to a partially appointed board. Before the transition, the board was made up of the mayor of New Haven and seven mayoral appointees. It was decided that, after 2015, the board would be composed of the mayor, four mayoral appointees and two publicly elected members representing two geographical districts.[4][5]

The first two elected members of the board were elected on November 3, 2015. The District 1 member was elected to a two-year term. The District 2 member was elected to a four-year term. Beginning in 2017, all elected and appointed board members served four-year terms elected in odd-numbered years.[6]
