Guerci, carrying 52 percent of the vote, was confirmed as the winner on April 29 after days of planned and aggressive campaigning. Agarwal, a student from Richard Montgomery who also made a series of closing campaign efforts, carried 48 percent of Wednesday’s vote.

Wednesday’s election saw approximately 82 percent of eligible students voting in the election; however, approximately 600 students did not vote for either candidate when submitting a ballot.

In Sherwood approximately 60 percent of students cast their ballot for Eric Guerci, with about 39 percent of students for Rachit Agarwal; one percent of students casted a blank vote. As the thirty eighth student member of the board, Guerci will serve next school year as the SMOB for the 2015-2016 school year.
