Timothy Wayne Hayes

Timothy Hayes is the current School Board Chairman for Newton‑Conover City Schools and is a Republican candidate for one of the two Newton District seats on the Newton‑Conover Schools Board of Education in the 2026 election cycle. The Newton‑Conover Board of Education governs the public schools in the Newton and Conover municipalities, setting policy, approving the district budget, hiring and evaluating the superintendent, and overseeing curriculum and facilities decisions that affect students, staff, and taxpayers in Catawba County【1†L1-L4】.

Hayes’s public profile is limited. The Newton‑Conover City Schools staff directory lists him as “SCHOOL BOARD CHAIRMAN” but provides no biographical details such as education, prior employment, or community involvement【12†L31-L33】. No additional biographical information appears on his Ballotpedia candidate page, which notes only that he filed to run in the Republican primary for the Newton District on March 3, 2026【1†L5-L9】.

In the 2026 Republican primary, Hayes was one of four candidates seeking the two Newton District seats, alongside Joyce H. Ackerman, Jennifer Canrobert, and Brad Scott【1†L9-L12】. The primary determines which two Republican nominees will appear on the November 3, 2026 general‑election ballot. While the Ballotpedia page does not record any endorsements or campaign themes for Hayes, the candidate’s email address ([email protected]) is provided for voters who wish to request more information or encourage him to complete the Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey【1†L31-L34】.

Because no campaign website is listed in the available sources, Hayes’s specific platform positions are not documented here. Voters can contact him directly via the listed email address for any questions about his qualifications, priorities for the school board, or to request a statement of his goals for the Newton District.

Overall, Timothy Hayes is a local school‑board leader seeking election to continue representing Newton‑Conover families on the Board of Education, with his official role and candidacy confirmed by both the district’s staff directory and the state’s Ballotpedia election coverage.
