According to election records, Krystal King and Shawn Anwar have not filed any additional campaign finance paperwork since beginning their campaigns in July.

The new school board member for Trustee Area 4 will be sworn in at a regular board meeting after the Nov. 7 election is certified. The newly elected school board member will complete the term for the Trustee Area 4 seat, which runs through December 2026.
