    **NOTE: The North Tonawanda City School District’s school board election results, which were first announced on May 15, 2018, have been reviewed by Niagara County. In the course of that review, it was discovered that there was an error in the original calculations. The verified results are above.

    With these verified results, the same four candidates won seats on the school board. The only change is to the candidate who will now serve the one-year term for the seat that was recently vacated by Thad McMurray.

    The board will confirm these updated election results at its next board meeting on June 6, 2018.
