Elections
2016

A fourth seat was up for special election on August 9, 2016, which was held in conjunction with the school district's primary election. In her bid for re-election, incumbent Holly Thompson faced six challengers in the primary: Andrew Kennedy, Gary Kowalkowski, Kristian Mortenson, Joel Nelson, John Parker, and Christi Tullbane. Every candidate but Kennedy—who received the lowest number of votes in the primary—advanced to the general election. Thompson, Tullbane, and Nelson won the general election.
