Gaston County: Board of Education At-Large

According to its website, “the Gaston County public school system is governed by a nine-member Board of Education that sets policy and establishes guidelines for school operations. Board members are elected on a non-partisan, county-wide basis with seven representatives chosen from the six townships and two members selected at-large.” Four of those nine positions are up for election this year.
