Lexington School District Four School Board of Trustee winners appear to have been chosen

Swansea, SC 11/06/2024 (Paul Kirby) – Lexington County School District Four, the school district that serves the Gaston and Swansea communities elected four members to serve on its Board of Trustees, Tuesday. Six candidates filed to run for four seats that were open.

This, like almost all five Lexington County School Districts, was a non-partisan, at large election. This means that candidates do not have to declare their political affiliation. As an example, they do not have to file as a Republican, Democrat, Independent, or member of any other party as most political candidates for other offices do in Lexington County. They also have no districts meaning that a resident of any portion of the school district can vote for any of the candidates that they choose. They do not have to run in a specific area close to the voter or an area assigned by some other political body such as the SC State Legislature.
