8 Candidates Vie For Seats On Manassas School Board In November General Election

MANASSAS, VA — Eight candidates are running for four Manassas School Board seats in the Nov. 5, 2024 general election.

The Manassas School Board is made up of seven members, and four of the seats are up for election in 2024. The four-year terms are staggered, which means the elections every two years include three or four seats on the board.

Members are elected at large, so voters will cast a ballot for up to four candidates in November's election.

Christina Brooks and Suzanne Seaberg are two incumbents seeking re-election in November. Newcomer candidates include Diana Brown, Allie Forkell, Javanese Hailey, Zella Jones, Dayna-Marie Miles and Maidy Whitesell.
