LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The new makeup of the board that governs the nation's fifth-largest school district will be decided by local voters on Nov. 5.
Only one of the four Clark County Board of School Trustees members up for re-election this year is fighting to retain her seat.
School trustees represent certain geographic regions of Clark County, divided into seven districts. In this election, seats representing Districts A, B, C and E are up for grabs.
Karl Catarata — Emily Stevens
Lisa Guzman, the incumbent representing District A on the school board, is not running for re-election.
Primary election results: A few hundred votes separated Stevens and Catarata in the June primary. Stevens secured 10,818 votes (25.7%) while Catarata was close behind with 10,457 votes (24.84%), according to the Nevada Secretary of State.
According to Clark County voting data as of 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Stevens is in the lead with 58.14% of the total votes and Catarata with 41.86%.
On Wednesday, Catarata conceded the election to Stevens.

Lydia Dominguez — Eileen Eady
Lydia Dominguez has been elected for this seat. She will replace Nakia Jackson-Hale, the interim trustee the school board selected after Katie Williams resigned. (An investigation by the Clark County District Attorney's Office found Williams remained on the board despite moving to Nebraska, prompting her resignation.)
At 10:23 a.m. on Friday, Dominguez had 56% of the votes while Eady had 44%.
Primary election results: Dominguez won 30.42% of the votes in June's primary election (11,759 total votes). Eady secured 9,355 votes or 24.2%.
Evelyn Garcia Morales — Tameka Henry
Garcia Morales is the current president of the Board of School Trustees and is the only sitting board member running for re-election this year.
Primary election results: If the results of June's primary election are any indication, Garcia Morales could lose her seat. In June, Henry secured 37.6% of the votes in District C, while 29% of voters vast ballots for Garcia Morales.
As of 11 p.m. Wednesday, Henry is in the lead with 51.85% of the votes, and Garcia Morales with 48.15%.
Lorena Biassotti — Kamilah Bywaters
Lola Brooks, who currently represents District E on the school board, is not running for re-election.
