Election Day is Nov. 8!
Our school system is an economic driver for our community and attracts families and students to our area. The Chamber encourages all of our shareholders in the Lexington County School District One to learn about the candidates that will best serve our district.
The League of Women Voters held a school board candidate forum on Monday, Sept. 26. You can watch the livestream now on the Lexington District One’s YouTube channel.
On Election Day, Lexington District One voters will choose three individuals for three at-large seats on the Board of Trustees. Candidates include Harriet Coker, Richard Gehling, Aaron Granade, Dana Homesley, Katie McCown, Andrea Nazarenko, Nicholas Pizzuti, Mary Price, Chris Rice, Rhys Sage and Beth Shealy. Voters can find information about the candidates on the district’s website.
You can also read their answers to questions asked by the League of Women Voters on this website. Click on “Find What’s on Your Ballot,” type in your home address, scroll down the list of races and click on “Lexington One School Board.”
