All nine seats on the Atlanta Board of Education will be up for election in November.

Six incumbents are among the 22 candidates who qualified this week to appear on the Nov. 2 ballot.

This is the last election during which every board seat is up for grabs at the same time because a recent state law change will usher in staggered terms for the school board.

In this election, five of the winners, representing the odd-numbered districts, will serve only a two-year term that expires Dec. 31, 2023. The remaining four spots, representing even-numbered districts, will be for a four-year term ending Dec. 31, 2025.

Board members Leslie Grant in district 1, Nancy Meister in district 4 and Kandis Wood Jackson, who holds the at-large seat 7, are not seeking reelection.

District 1, southeast Atlanta

Katie Howard

Wykeisha Howe

District 2, central Atlanta

Aretta Baldon (incumbent)

Keisha Carey

Bethsheba Rem

District 3, east Atlanta
