Board announces school election filing dates; members asked for a public update on federal title funds
Summary
District administrator Brenda said candidate filing for the November combined city and school election opens Aug. 25 and closes Sept. 18; board members requested a public update on federal funding, and Superintendent Schneckloff offered to include a status report in the district's Friday bulletin.
Davenport Community School District administrative staff reminded the board that candidate filing for the combined city and school election opens Aug. 25 and closes Sept. 18, and that packets are available in the district office and on the Iowa Secretary of State website. Brenda, the district administrative official, said candidates for the ballot must return paperwork to the district office by Sept. 18 at 5 p.m., and confirmed the Davenport filing requirement of 50 signatures per candidate.
Board members asked for an update on federal funding (including title funds). Superintendent Schneckloff said he would include a status update in the district’s Friday report; a board member noted media reports that title funds had been released as of Friday. The board did not take formal action on the federal funding update; members agreed a written public update in the Friday bulletin would be sufficient if staff provides the requested details.
The administrative reminder also noted which board seats are up for election: the seats held by Directors Ward, Potts, Beck and Barnes, with three four‑year terms and one two‑year term to appear on the ballot.
