2018
Incumbent Karen Brill was unopposed in the election for District 3 on the Palm Beach County school board. Since only one candidate filed, the election was canceled and did not appear on the ballot.
2014
The August 26, 2014, general election in Palm Beach County featured four seats up for election. Only three of the races were decided in the general election. The general election determined if candidates for each seat could garner a majority of the vote total. Because no candidate received 50 percent plus one of the general election votes in District 4, the top two vote recipients advanced to the runoff election on November 4, 2014.
The District 4 race included newcomers Justin Katz, Larry F. Rosensweig, Thomas G. Sutterfield and Erica Whitfield. Whitfield advanced to the runoff election in first place. A recount was held to determine whether Sutterfield or Katz would advance to the runoff election in second place. Sutterfield's lead held and he advanced over Katz to the runoff election. Rosensweig, however, was defeated in the general election.
District 3, 6 and 7 races were determined in the general election. Karen Brill won re-election in District 3 against John Michael Hartman and David Benoit Mech. Incumbent Marcia Andrews defeated newcomers Carla Donaldson and Joe Moore in District 6. The District 7 race featured incumbent Debra L. Robinson who defeated challenger Piaget "Peppi" Hendrix.
