Sure did. I honestly had no idea what district we were assigned to. It does seem that down county can take over these elections. 
A more fair setup IMO is only the candidates from that district vote to represent their district on the school board with a couple extra at large. [/quote]

Only because you haven't looked at the make-up of the Board of Education, which is:

1 board member who lives in District 1 
1 board member who lives in District 2
1 board member who lives in District 3
1 board member who lives in District 4
1 board member who lives in District 5
2 board members at large, who can live anywhere
1 student member of the board (SMOB)

And, of course, people get elected to the board of education by having more people vote for them than for the other candidate(s). That's not unfairness, that's democracy.

Wouldn’t that be like having people from one state run for Congress but allowing the whole country to vote on it? It’s not true representation.[/quote]

Each BOE member represents every county resident.[/quote]
