In Virginia, county school boards are composed of one member from each district in that county, and sometimes include an at-large member. Members are elected to four-year terms and serve as the leaders of the school district by setting the policies for and choosing the leadership of public schools, among other duties. The Prince Edward County Public Schools Board has eight members, one from each of its districts.
James Arieti is running unopposed to represent District 4 on the Prince Edward County School Board. The seat is currently occupied by Beulah Womack, who was elected to the board in 2019 after running unopposed. Womack is not seeking reelection.
Though Arieti is the only candidate certified by the Virginia Department of Elections, voters can write-in other candidates.
Charlottesville Tomorrow designed a questionnaire based on more than 200 responses we received to a voter survey. Arieti did not return answers.
