Grand Island Public School Board Ward B candidate Carol Schooley filed a declination of nomination form Monday, June 20, 2022 with the Hall County Election Commission. "Ms. Schooley has withdrawn from the Grand Island Public Schools school board race, which leaves a vacancy on the ballot for the November 8, 2022 general election," said Hall County Election Commissioner Tracy Overstreet.

Schooley and Tim Mayfield filed as Ward B candidates for the May 10, 2022 primary election. Two candidates were eligible to advance to the November 8, 2022 general election. Both Schooley and Mayfield auto-advanced through the primary. There is one Ward B seat open for the four-year term that begins in January 2023. Ward B incumbent Bonnie Hinkle chose not to seek re-election.

"With a vacancy on the ballot, other eligible, interested voters in Ward B may petition to be on the ballot," Overstreet said. "A total of 680 valid signatures are needed by September 1 to fill the vacancy. The name of a successful petitioner would be printed on the general election ballot."
