Party labels on the ballot

See also: Rules governing party labels in school board elections

School board elections in Utah are nonpartisan, which means party labels do not appear on the ballot for school board candidates. Utah Election Code states that "The county clerk shall [...] place the names of all candidates who have filed a declaration of candidacy for a local board of education seat on the nonpartisan section of the ballot if more than two candidates have filed for the same seat." It also states, "A candidate who, at the regular primary election, receives the highest number of votes cast for the office sought by the candidate is [...] for a nonpartisan local school board position, nominated for that office."

Winning an election

In a general school board election, the candidate that receives the most votes is elected to office.

If more than two candidates file for the same local school board seat, a nonpartisan primary election is held, and the two candidates that receive the most votes in the nonpartisan primary advance to the general election. If one or two candidates but not more file for the same local school board seat, the nonpartisan primary election is canceled and the candidates automatically advance to the general election.

Academic performance

Each year, state and local education agencies use tests and other standards to assess student proficiency. Although the data below was published by the U.S. Department of Education, proficiency measurements are established by the states. As a result, proficiency levels are not comparable between different states and year-over-year proficiency levels within a district may not be comparable because states may change their proficiency measurements.[2][3]

The following table shows the percentage of district students who scored at or above the proficiency level each school year:
