There were three candidates for two seats. 

Sarver, who has served on the SUHSD board since 2009, garnered the highest number of votes, 13,161 (35.26%), and Thomsen, also a board member since 2009, was second of the three candidates with 12,308 votes (32.97%).

Georgia Jack, the challenger, finished third with 31.77%, or 11,861 votes. 

Both Sarver and Thomsen stated during the election that if re-elected, they would focus on the district's common core curriculum, boosting graduation rates, planning for enrollment growth and long term fiscal stability.
