Guilford School Board votes against using same district lines as commissioners

The Guilford County School Board has rejected a resolution to use the same district map as county commissioners for the next election. The school board voted 6-3 against the commissioners' map during a retreat Saturday.

Some school board members told the News & Record of Greensboro that they had only recently seen the revisions and didn't think they had enough time to make a decision. 

The newspaper reports that the Guilford Board of Elections has requested the school board's choice of maps by Nov. 18.

Candidate filings begin next month for the March elections.

Both the school and county boards have the same number of elected members including an at-large seat. The school board currently uses the same map as the commissioners, but they're not obligated to do so.
