3)  Q When are Board members elected to the Board?

School Board members are elected at the Annual Vote, held on the third Tuesday in May 2:00 - 8:00 p.m. in the cafeteria. At the same time, the community votes on the school budget.
4)  Q If I won't be in town on the date of the Annual Vote, can I still vote?
A
Yes, you can vote by absentee ballot. You need to contact the District Office at 826-0203 to request an application for an absentee ballot. That application is completed by you and returned to the District Office prior to the Annual Vote. Once received, the District Office will mail you an official ballot to vote on and return.
5)  Q How can I learn more about the school budget so that I can vote wisely?
A
You can attend the Public Budget Hearing scheduled for Tuesday, the week before the Budget Vote at 7:00 p.m. in the Classic Gym or you may contact the school's Business Manager, Mr. Chad Hess, or the school's Superintendent, Mrs. Laura Dutton, for more information.
