( MIRROR INDY ) — While many sitting school board candidates held onto their seats in the election Tuesday, some incumbents, including in Indianapolis Public Schools and Pike Township, lost.
Residents of 10 Marion County school districts had the chance to weigh in on future leadership within their local school systems.
Only residents of Speedway — a district whose board members are appointed by the Speedway Town Council — did not see school board seats on their ballot.
Candidates who were elected will begin their terms Jan. 1. School board members generally serve four-year terms and will occupy their seats through December 2028.
Mirror Indy is sharing vote totals Tuesday night with 100% of Marion County precincts reporting their results to county election officials.
