    Unofficial results from the county elections office show candidates supported by conservative groups in Hamilton County school board elections were defeated by their opponents.

    Voters cast their ballots Tuesday for about 800 school board seats across the state, and partisan politics played a role again in Carmel, Fishers and Noblesville — even though those elections were officially nonpartisan.

    As of 10:43 p.m., all Hamilton County precincts had reported results. IndyStar has called school board races based on unofficial results from the Hamilton County Election Office.

    Candidates backed by a conservative group have suffered defeat in the race for the Hamilton Southeastern School Board

    Candidates backed by the local conservative group Fishers One lost in the race for seats in the Hamilton Southeastern School Board's Delaware Township, Fall Creek Township and Wayne Township.

    The results come just two years after a slate of candidates backed by Fishers One defeated its four opponents and took control of the school board.

    Two candidates ran for each seat on the seven-member board in this election. Conservatives will continue to hold the majority, even though moderate candidates Sarah Parks-Reese and Latrica Schooley defeated their conservative opponents.

    The Conservatives supported by Fishers One in this election were Greg Lannan, Terry Tolle and John Stewart.

    Incumbents Parks-Reese and Suzanne Thomas and newcomer Schooley were endorsed by the Hamilton Southeastern Education Association. The teachers union generally sides with Democrats, although Thomas describes himself as a conservative and has voted with the majority on several issues.
