201 - Board of Directors' Elections

The school election takes place on the first Tuesday in November of odd-numbered years.  Each school election is used to elect citizens to the board to maintain a 7-member board and to address questions that are submitted to the voters.

Citizens of the school district community seeking a seat on the board must file their nomination papers with the board secretary, or the board secretary's designee, between sixty-four and forty days before the school election unless otherwise directed.

If a vacancy occurs on the board it shall be filled in accordance with law and board policy. 

It is the responsibility of the county commissioner of elections to conduct school elections.
