An attempt to flip three Roanoke County School Board seats held by incumbents fell short Tuesday. Longtime incumbents Tim Greenway in the Vinton District and David Linden in the Hollins District won their reelection campaigns.

Hollins District
In the Hollins District, David Linden was reelected with about 63% of the vote over challenger E. Winter Schassberger, according to unofficial results from the Virginia Department of Elections.
Reached by phone Tuesday night, Linden said he was appreciative of the voters of the Hollins District and he looked forward to four more years of service on the school board.
“I think voters have spoken loud and clear that they like the direction we’re headed,” he said. He complimented his opponent’s energy and positivity during the campaign.
