PatchChat: Live At-Large School Board Results

Seven candidates are seeking the Fairfax County School Board's three at-large seats today in what some call the "most intense" school board race the county has seen in years.

Polls close at 7 p.m., but we'll gather here at 6:30 p.m. to monitor results for the seats as they come in, interviewing candidates and voters, and fielding reader questions and comments along the way.

Across the 12-member board, the most dramatic outcome of today's elections could leave only two experienced members in their seats. Among the tasks the new board will face is picking

Ilryong Moon (, ) is the only at-large incumbent seeking re-election.

The other candidates are

Sheree A. Brown-Kaplan (, )
Lin-Dai Y. Kendall ()
Lolita I. Mancheno-Smoak (, )
Ryan L. McElveen (, )
Steven M. F. Stuban (, )
Theodore J. "Ted" Velkoff (, )

At-large members, like those that serve on the board's nine district seats, serve four-year terms.
