Chairman Ryan Strain and board member Brian Curry are seeking reelection in November for their seats on Germantown’s Board of Education.

The two were first elected in 2020. They filed their paperwork with the Shelby County Election Commission in July, and both turned in their qualifying petitions for the Nov. 5 election. Although others pulled for their seats, those candidates —Andy Ellis and Vicki Gandee — eventually filed for Position 5.

When Strain took the role of chairman, Curry took on the legislative advocacy position.
