Bentonville Schools’ Families,
Significant growth revealed in the 2020 census has led to a rezoning of the Bentonville Schools’ Board of Education. As a result, five board member seats are open and will be determined on November 8. (Two board members are considered at large and currently not up for re-election.) I encourage you to register to vote and cast your ballot. An individual may only vote for the candidate in his/her zone. To determine your zone, study the map of school board zones. Then research the candidates vying for your vote.
To help you cast an informed vote, our PTOs will host candidate forums. They will share that information soon. If you have moved and need to update your voter registration, you can do so easily over the phone at 479-271-1013.
Important Dates
October 11, 2022 Deadline to Register to Vote

§7-1-11 prohibits any individual from conducting political activities on school district property. This means campaign materials may not be distributed nor can political signs be posted on school grounds.
The Bentonville Schools’ Board of Education consists of seven members. These positions are volunteer with no monetary compensation. I’m grateful to the men and women who are willing to add their names to the ballot in service of our district.
Sincerely,
Dr. Debbie Jones
Superintendent, Bentonville Schools
