Four seats of the five seats on the Edmonds School District Board of Directors were up for election in 2015.
A primary election for District 3 was held on August 4, 2015. Incumbent Gary Noble faced challengers Mark Norton and Mary Murphy. The top two vote recipients, Nobel and Murphy, advanced to the general election on November 3, 2015; Nobel won re-election on the November ballot.[1]
The District 1 and 5 seats were also up for general election on that day as was a special election for District 4.[1]
District 1 incumbent Kory DeMun did not file to seek re-election to the District 1 seat. Candidates Bill Willcock and Carin Chase faced each other in the race for the open seat, which Chase won. Incumbent Diana White won re-election unopposed in the District 5 race.[1]
Susan Phillips resigned from the District 4 seat in March 2014 after being absent from a number of board meetings due to her husband's health.[2] April Nowak was appointed to the vacant seat May 13, 2014.[3]
In a turn of event, Phillips re-won her seat without opposition. Michael Arendt and Monica Wheaton both initially filed for the seat, but they both withdrew on May 18, 2015. The unexpired term ran until 2017, which is when Phillips would have next been up for regular election.[1]
