** Laws in four states require partisan labels for school board elections
------------------------------------------------------------
In 41 states and the District of Columbia, state law requires nonpartisan elections for school boards. Laws in four states—Alabama, Connecticut, Louisiana, and, with some exceptions, Pennsylvania—automatically allow partisan school board board elections or party labels to appear on the ballot.
Five states—Georgia, Rhode Island, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina—either explicitly allow for partisan or nonpartisan elections or give local authorities enough control to effectively allow the option.
