An early look at the Metro Nashville Public School Board election

School board districts 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 are up for reelection in 2024, and some incumbents are already endorsing possible successors. This will be Nashville’s second partisan school board election following 2021 legislation that allows partisan labels in district school board races. 

District 3 representative Emily Masters will not run for reelection, instead choosing to endorse Zach Young, a Democrat and former District 10 councilmember who lost a 2023 reelection bid to Jennifer Frensley Webb. Republican Stephen North pulled a petition to run for the district but did not qualify for the ballot. The district encompasses parts of northeast Davidson County, including Madison and Goodlettsville.
