{"biography":"Donald Ignatius Zawlocki is a candidate for the Moore County Board of Education Member\u2011At\u2011Large seat in the November\u202f3,\u202f2026 general election. He is running as a non\u2011partisan candidate for the county\u2019s governing body that sets policy, approves the budget, and oversees curriculum and personnel for the Moore County Schools system[1].\n\nThe 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\u2011year terms and must act in the best interests of all students and taxpayers in the county[1].\n\nZawlocki is 67 years old and has completed graduate\u2011level education, according to a public background report[11]. He resides in the Aberdeen\u2011Pinehurst area of Moore County, with listed addresses at 111\u202fPinebrae\u202fLn, Aberdeen, NC and 260\u202fRobin\u202fLn, Pinehurst, NC[11].\n\nProfessionally, Zawlocki has been employed by Moore County Schools for several years. Payroll records show he held the title \u201cEducation Professional\u201d (or \u201cGeneral Education Professional\u201d) 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\u2019s instructional staff, giving him direct experience with classroom and school operations.\n\nPolitically, Zawlocki previously sought election to the Moore County Schools Board representing District\u202fV. He qualified for the March\u202f5,\u202f2024 non\u2011partisan primary and appeared on the November\u202f5,\u202f2024 general\u2011election ballot alongside Robin Calcutt[1]. He did not complete Ballotpedia\u2019s Candidate Connection survey and no endorsements were recorded for that race[1].\n\nIn the 2026 cycle, Zawlocki is again seeking a seat on the Board, this time at\u2011large, 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.\n\n## Sources\n- [1] [Don Zawlocki (Moore County Schools, District V, North Carolina, candidate 2024) - Ballotpedia](https://ballotpedia.org/Don_Zawlocki_(Moore_County_Schools,_District_V,_North_Carolina,_candidate_2024))\n- [9] [Donald Zawlocki - Education Professionals - Moore County Schools | OpenGovPay](https://opengovpay.com/nc/donald-zawlocki-i/28065979)\n- [10] [Donald Zawlocki in Aberdeen, North Carolina | Phone Number, Email, Address - Spokeo](https://www.spokeo.com/Donald-Zawlocki/North-Carolina/Aberdeen)\n- [11] [Find Donald Zawlocki's Background Report, Location & Phone Number](https://northcarolina.ourstates.org/donald-zawlocki)","campaigns":[{"contest":"county_school_board_at_large","county":"moore","county_count":1,"electiondate":"Tue, 03 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT","pgr":"general","state":"NC","title":"Moore County Board Of Education Member At-Large"},{"contest":"county_school_board_at_large","county":"moore","county_count":1,"electiondate":"Tue, 03 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT","pgr":"general","state":"NC","title":"Moore County Board Of Education Member At-Large"}],"cf_filings":[],"firstname":"Donald","fullname":"Donald Ignatius Zawlocki","lastname":"Zawlocki","middlename":"Ignatius","office_history":[{"campaigns":[{"contest":"county_school_board_at_large","contest_title":"Moore County Board Of Education Member At-Large","county":"moore","county_count":1,"electiondate":"2026-11-03","office_county":"moore","office_key":"county_school_board","office_title":"County School Board Member","party":"","pgr":"general","state":"NC"},{"contest":"county_school_board_at_large","contest_title":"Moore County Board Of Education Member At-Large","county":"moore","county_count":1,"electiondate":"2026-03-03","office_county":"moore","office_key":"county_school_board","office_title":"County School Board Member","party":"","pgr":"general","state":"NC"}],"county":"moore","cycles":[{"general":{"contest":"county_school_board_at_large","contest_title":"Moore County Board Of Education Member At-Large","county":"moore","county_count":1,"electiondate":"2026-03-03","office_county":"moore","office_key":"county_school_board","office_title":"County School Board Member","party":"","pgr":"general","state":"NC"},"party":"","primary":null,"term":null,"year":2026}],"office_key":"county_school_board","office_title":"County School Board Member","state":"NC","terms":[]}],"summary":"Donald Ignatius Zawlocki, a longtime Moore County Schools employee, is running for the at\u2011large seat on the Moore County Board of Education in 2026.","terms":[],"token":"5b60b65e1803b1fa"}
