Reading this local result

Both are school governing board elections, but each trustee area has a separate seat. A lead in one area does not determine the outcome in the other.

These are preliminary returns from the November 3 general election. The official canvass can change totals and rankings. Reporting all precincts does not establish that every valid ballot has been processed or that an outcome has been certified. Any district crossing county lines requires the other counties’ returns as well.
