At a recent forum, the Seat 6 candidates laid out their views on salaries for teachers, keeping campuses safe, how well students are learning and where tax dollars go.

The seven-member board serves four-year terms and oversees a district that enrolled 2,707 students across six schools during the 2025 school year.

Polls statewide open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m., and voters must go to their assigned polling places.
