Board of Education Elections
School district elections are
nonpartisan, governed by the general election laws of the State, and include the
election of School Board members, various public policy propositions, and
advisory questions. School Board members
are elected at the consolidated election held on the first Tuesday in April in
odd-numbered years. If, however, that
date conflicts with the celebration of Passover, the consolidated election is postponed
to the first Tuesday following the last day of Passover. The canvass of votes is conducted by the
election authority within 21 days after the election.
The School Board’s election duties are:
1. The Board, by proper resolution, may place public policy propositions on the ballot.
2.
The Board President, Secretary,
and the member with the longest continuous service, whose nominating petition
is not being challenged, compose the Education Officers Electoral
Board to hear and rule on objections to candidate nominating petitions and
voter petitions.
3. The Board secretary or clerk serves as the local election official, assisted by designated representatives appointed by the Board.
