Our call — see the breakdown

How we research: the LiberalMind standard — every district gets the same pass: official rosters first, filings second, statements and coverage third — and where the public record runs dry we print the gap instead of filling it. Race roster: Pinal County School Office "2026 Election Candidate Filing Status" panel (official), read October 25, 2026; seat history from the Pinal County School Office governing-board listing — grade: official. One candidate status is printed below exactly as the official panel states it, unresolved, for the same reason as elsewhere in this series: we do not convert an administrative notation into an outcome.

The race

There is no Stanfield Elementary School District governing-board election on November 3, 2026. Stanfield ESD No. 24 had the busiest filing picture in Pinal County's small districts: per the county school office's board listing, the members with terms expiring December 31, 2026 were Jadee Rohner, LeeAnn Feenstra, Dulcey "Shane" Garcia and Cindy McDonald (the last holding a two-year seat), with a further seat vacant — five positions in play in some form, a count outside sources rendered inconsistently (GoodParty's district page suggested only one position up in 2026). The official filing panel settles the structure: three four-year seats and two two-year seats. Under Arizona's rules, when the filed candidates do not exceed the seats, the election is cancelled and the filers are deemed elected; the panel marks this district's election "CXL ELECTION" — cancelled. Consistently, no Stanfield ESD board race appears on the official Citizens Clean Elections Commission Pinal County candidate list.

Who takes the seats

The filing panel lists five names across the five seats:

Four-year terms — filed; deemed elected: - Jadee Rohner — an expiring-seat holder returning. - Dulcey "Shane" Garcia — an expiring-seat holder returning. - Lee Ann Feenstra — an expiring-seat holder returning. (The county board listing spells her name "LeeAnn"; the filing panel prints "Lee Ann." The panel's spelling governs the filing record; the variant is noted, not silently resolved.)

Two-year terms: - Cindy McDonald — filed; deemed elected. The two-year seat's holder returning. - Constance Gabriel — listed by the panel with her status printed exactly as the panel states it: "DID NOT FILE." A new name in the district's records, recorded by the panel in connection with the second two-year seat without an ordinary filing. We print the notation verbatim and stop there: the panel does not state an outcome for the seat in words we can report, and this page does not invent one.

Record gaps

This roster was unpublished in every reachable source until October 25, 2026 — and this district was the murkiest of the seven: the county listing and outside compilations disagreed about how many seats were even in play, and the school office's filing-status panel is script-driven and returns no data to a text fetch. The structure and names above come from a live-browser reading of that official panel on October 25, 2026. What remains open, printed rather than resolved: the final disposition of the second two-year seat attached to Gabriel's "DID NOT FILE" notation rests with the county school office's canvass, and no campaign statements exist for any filer — a cancelled election generates none.

OUR CALL

No call — there is no election to call. Stanfield ESD's governing-board election was cancelled; the filers named above take their seats as the panel records them, with Gabriel's status printed verbatim and unresolved, as the official record leaves it.
