Board Election Voting: April 28-May 8, 2025

Election Ballot
After the Board Development Committee has finished the nomination process, it then will create ballots that include candidate bios. Candidate information and voting instructions will be listed on this site. Each student’s parents and/or legal guardians will have one vote. Each school employee will also have one vote.

​Once all votes are in and tabulated, the new appointed Board of Directors will be notified, sign the Board Member Profile Agreement, and take their place on the Board of Directors at the August board meeting. (Terms start on July 1st, but the board does not meet in July, so new members will begin their service at the August meeting.)
