Foresthill School Board: Peoples Leads Beaty by 57 Votes for Third Seat

FORESTHILL, Placer County — November 4, 2026. Casey Peoples holds the third position in the three-seat Foresthill Union School District election, but Nicole Beaty is only 57 votes behind.

Candidate counts

Rachel Cottingham: 1,094; Kiera Earney: 763; Casey Peoples: 757; Nicole Beaty: 700.

Why these results matter

Residents were choosing three school board members, making the margin between third and fourth place the relevant dividing line. This is a separate election from the Foresthill Public Utility District’s board election. The report lists ten of ten precincts but does not certify the result.

Counting status

The source is the Placer County Elections election-night semi-official report, printed at 12:16 a.m. Pacific on November 4, 2026. All assigned election-night precincts are shown as reported, but further eligible ballots may be processed before the county certifies its returns. These figures should not be presented as a new November 5 count, and a reported leading candidate has not necessarily won the final election.
