The Board of Education of the Frontier Central School District accepted the district clerk's final tabulation of the May 20, 2025 district vote and declared the winners of the board election at a short special meeting.
The board received and accepted the district clerk's report of the vote and affirmed that Aaron Oliver and John Cortier, who received the largest and second-largest vote totals respectively for the two at-large seats, are entitled under Education Law section 2034 to four-year terms commencing July 1, 2025. The board directed the district clerk to provide written notice of election to Oliver and Cortier.
Why this matters: The reported results include the district's proposed 2025–26 budget and a proposition to finance school buses and similar vehicles; both measures were reported with vote totals. The board's formal acceptance of the clerk's tabulation completes the district's certification process and places the newly elected trustees on course to begin their terms on July 1.
