The election was riddled with controversy as Superintendent Brice Karam is currently under investigation and on paid administrative leave. Hobika, the current Board President, and newcomer Jason Cooper had formed an alliance as both were supporting cleaning up the district and investigating Karam. At least two of the other candidates were supporting Karam and running directly against Hobika.
