Incumbent Andrew M. Becker and Kou Lee defeated Paul Boucher and Alex Mineau in the general election for two at-large seats on the Green Bay Area Public School District Board of Education on April 2, 2024. Incumbent Nancy Welch did not run for re-election, leaving one at-large seat open. As of April 3, 2024, Becker had 35.0% of the vote, followed by Lee with 27.7%, Mineau with 25.9% and Boucher with 11.0%.
Both the Democratic and Republican parties of Brown County endorsed candidates. County Democrats endorsed Lee, while county Republicans endorsed Mineau. Both parties endorsed Becker.
The election followed the resignation of Superintendent Dr. Claude Tiller, who resigned on Feb. 17, 2024, after he appeared on an Atlanta-area radio show. According to the Associated Press, Tiller “made blunt comments about race relations, criticized the community and derided one of the district’s principals.” Tiller’s comments criticized both Green Bay at large and individual staff members for what he described as outdated and inappropriate attitudes towards race relations. Although the school board did not specify why it had accepted Tiller’s resignation, Tiller’s supporters said he had been pushed to resign for his comments criticizing the community at large and that he had been held to a higher standard than a white superintendent: “They’re sending the message that if you’re BIPOC (black, indigenous, person of color) you can’t make any mistake.”
