School Board Elections

(If that date conflicts with Passover, the election moves to the second Tuesday.) The terms of board members are staggered so there are three or four seats contested at each biennial election.
  • Links on this page are intended to provide access to information and publications regarding the next election that should be helpful for school board members, candidates, and voters.
  • The package from 2022 can be found and reviewed here.
