Cynthia Stanley-Cash announced at a debate that she is withdrawing as a candidate for County School Board District 5.
That still leaves six other contenders.
They include Richard K. Bennett, Patrick D. Hampton, Karitsa Mosley, Jacqueline A. Thomas, Yashika Ward and Samuel Blakemore.
Mr. Bennett, who picked up criminal charges during the campaign, was not at the debate at Dalewood Middle School.
