The race for the Republican nominee to represent North Alabama on the state school board is headed to a runoff.
Emily Jones received 41% of the vote in an unofficial tally for the District 8 State School Board seat. Second-place finisher William Matthews received 31% of the vote and 10-year City of Madison Board of Education member Connie Spears received 27% of the vote. A candidate must receive more than 50% of the vote to avoid a runoff. The GOP runoff is set for June 16.
