At-large, Buncombe County Board of Education

Click the candidates’ picture to see their endorsements and why they are running.

The Buncombe County Board of Education is a seven-member body that meets monthly to support and provide oversight to Buncombe County Schools. There are six districts corresponding with each of the high schools in the county (not including Asheville City Schools) and one at-large seat.

All of the seats are filled by nonpartisan elections for 4-year terms. While those running for specific seats must be from that district, residents of all the districts may vote for one candidate in each race.

This year four of the seats are up for election, and only the current chairwoman, Ann Franklin of the North Buncombe District is running unopposed. Meanwhile there are four names on the ballot for the Owen district although one is not actively running. Three candidates are vying for the at-large seat. The only incumbent with opposition is Amy Churchill, who’s trying to defend her seat against Laura Bowen — both are personally registered as Republicans.
