Donald Ignatius Zawlocki

Donald Ignatius Zawlocki is a candidate for the Moore County Board of Education Member‑At‑Large seat in the November 3, 2026 general election. He is running as a non‑partisan candidate for the county’s governing body that sets policy, approves the budget, and oversees curriculum and personnel for the Moore County Schools system[1].

The Moore County Board of Education is responsible for establishing district policies, adopting the annual budget, hiring and evaluating the superintendent, and ensuring compliance with state education standards. Members serve four‑year terms and must act in the best interests of all students and taxpayers in the county[1].

Zawlocki is 67 years old and has completed graduate‑level education, according to a public background report[11]. He resides in the Aberdeen‑Pinehurst area of Moore County, with listed addresses at 111 Pinebrae Ln, Aberdeen, NC and 260 Robin Ln, Pinehurst, NC[11].

Professionally, Zawlocki has been employed by Moore County Schools for several years. Payroll records show he held the title “Education Professional” (or “General Education Professional”) from at least 2016 through 2023, earning $25,759 in 2016 and continuing in similar roles in subsequent years[9]. These positions place him within the district’s instructional staff, giving him direct experience with classroom and school operations.

Politically, Zawlocki previously sought election to the Moore County Schools Board representing District V. He qualified for the March 5, 2024 non‑partisan primary and appeared on the November 5, 2024 general‑election ballot alongside Robin Calcutt[1]. He did not complete Ballotpedia’s Candidate Connection survey and no endorsements were recorded for that race[1].

In the 2026 cycle, Zawlocki is again seeking a seat on the Board, this time at‑large, which would represent all of Moore County rather than a single district. No official campaign website or public statements have been identified, and his campaign materials have not been posted on the sources reviewed. Voters can expect his background in district employment and prior candidacy to inform his perspective on education policy.
