Princeton board urges community to plan to vote on Jan. 28 facilities bond referendum
Summary
Superintendent and board members reminded the public that a facilities bond referendum will be on the ballot Jan. 28, 2025, reviewed voting locations and encouraged residents to make a plan to vote; the district noted mail-in and provisional voting options and potential weather disruptions.
Superintendent (Dr. Foster) and board members used a segment of the board meeting to remind the community of an upcoming facilities bond referendum scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2025, and to urge residents to plan how they will vote.
Dr. Foster said information about the referendum and voting logistics has been shared in forums and on the district website and encouraged residents with questions to contact district staff. She listed four polling locations for the referendum: Suzanne Patterson Center (Monument Drive), Hook and Ladder (Harrison), Johnson Education Center (near Johnson Park) and Valley Road, and said Valley Road serves multiple voting districts. Dr. Foster advised residents to “make a plan to vote” and noted the district is tracking weather forecasts that could bring snow.
Board members discussed mail-in ballots and provisional voting. One board member observed that some voters who applied for mail-in ballots might have misplaced them and reminded residents that voters who cannot find their mail-in ballot can cast a provisional ballot in person at a polling site.
On the possibility of severe weather, the board clarified that the county board of elections would make final decisions about whether to close polling locations. Dr. Foster emphasized the district does not decide whether elections proceed.
Board members reiterated the schedule and urged residents to vote next Tuesday, Jan. 28. They also reminded voters that a mail-in ballot requires postage and that a vote-by-mail application deadline had already passed for some options.
No new policy or spending changes were announced during the reminder; the board’s comments were focused on voter logistics and turnout.
