Winners of these seats will serve three-year terms beginning April 27, 2020, through April 23, 2023.

The deadline for filing for the April 7, 2020 Board of Education election has now passed. Jian Sun is the only candidate who has filed for the Area III Seat, Scott Wheeler is the only candidate who has filed for the Area I Seat. Leanne Wied, Jennifer Roskopf and Ghazala Sajjad have filed for the At-Large Seat, therefore a primary election will be held for the At-Large Seat on February 18, 2020.
