BOISE, Idaho —
Polls closed at 8 p.m. on Tuesday for the Boise School District Board of Trustees election.
A total of 13 candidates ran in four races for five seats. Boise school board seats are up for election on a rotating basis, with elections held every two years. Regular terms of office run six years, but there are four separate races of varying terms this year because of mid-term resignations following the September 2020 election. Andy Hawes, Elizabeth Langley and Steve Schmidt were appointed to complete those terms.
September 6 is not one of the four elections on the state of Idaho's consolidated elections calendar; the Boise School District is exempt from the 2010 Election Consolidation Law according to the Secretary of State and Ada County Elections, the district states on a question-and-answer sheet about the upcoming election.
