Also seeking election are PaulaAnn Fazio, Paula Nowakowski and Steven Giordano.

Wingler, who serves as the board president, Poss and Adkinson were running mates in the 2023 election.

This year, Poss, who was appointed to the school board in 2023 after the resignation of Ken Pate, is leading a slate that includes Nowakowski and Giordano. Their slogan is "Manchester Kids First".

Wingler is seeking her third term on the board. She was first elected in 2020, and was re-elected in 2023. She is heading a slate that includes Adkinson and Fazio, under the slogan "Putting Kids First".

Initially Adkinson, who is seeking her second term on the school board, and Fazio, were running individually, but Wingler said in an email to Patch the three filed an update joining together under one slogan.
