Donna Moxley Rea is the current Chair of the five‑member Alleghany County Schools Board of Education and is running as the Republican candidate for a seat on that board in the November 3, 2026 general election. The Board of Education serves as the primary governing body for Alleghany County Schools, operating under a council‑manager format that appoints a superintendent to oversee day‑to‑day district operations and sets policy, budget, and strategic direction for the district’s four schools serving PK‑12 students【7】.
Rea’s public service record is defined by her role on the board, where she has helped guide district governance and supervise the superintendent, Dr. Chad Beasley, who has led the district since 2015. As Chair, she presides over monthly board meetings, facilitates decision‑making on curriculum, facilities, and budgeting, and represents the board in community outreach and media interactions【7】.
While specific biographical details such as education, prior employment, or community involvement are not provided in the available sources, Rea’s position as board chair indicates experience in local education policy and collaborative governance. Her candidacy seeks to continue that leadership on the board for the next term.
The Alleghany County Board of Education seats are elected positions; members serve four‑year terms and are responsible for appointing the superintendent, adopting the district budget, and establishing policies that affect the district’s roughly 1,558 students【7】. Rea’s campaign aligns with the Republican Party’s platform for the race, though no formal campaign website or contact information is listed in the sources.
