As of Tuesday evening, all precincts in both districts had reported results, according to the Warren County election office. The results are unofficial until certified, likely within the next week to 10 days.

These newly elected members will help shape decisions for Warren County Public Schools, including budget planning, policy approval, and oversight of academic programs. The school board plays a central role in managing local education issues, working with the superintendent and responding to input from the community.

They’ll join the Warren County School Board in January 2026.

State election results will be posted after all precincts have reported.
