Seven school board members in each of the three new districts will spend the next year and a half readying their districts for the split to take effect July 1, 2027.

The majority of races have been decided following a large results update by the county Thursday. Provisional ballots, absentee ballots, rejected ballots that can be resolved and any cured ballots are all that remain to be counted, according to County Clerk Aaron Davidson.

However, a handful of races still have a 100-vote difference or less, including Aspen Peaks 6, Lake Mountain 4, Lake Mountain 5, Timpanogos 3, Timpanogos 4 and Timpanogos 6.
