Frontier board votes to place measure on May ballot to cut board members from seven to five
Summary
The board approved a resolution to place on the May 19, 2026 ballot a proposition that would reduce the number of Frontier Central School District board members from seven to five effective 07/01/2026, citing recent member departures and capital-project considerations; the resolution references education law section 18 o 4, paragraph 3.
The Frontier Central Board of Education resolved to place a proposition on the district's annual ballot on May 19, 2026, asking qualified voters whether the board should decrease from seven to five members effective July 1, 2026.
The chair said the board first discussed the change at a workshop and cited two developments — a recent member’s move out of the district and an untimely death of another member — as context for considering the reduction while noting the district’s two capital projects and management considerations. The resolution states implementation will be in accordance with "education law section 18 o 4, paragraph 3," language the chair recited during the motion.
Board members moved, seconded and carried the proposition resolution by voice vote; the meeting record shows the motion carried. The chair invited public notice and stated the district clerk is authorized to undertake the actions necessary to implement the proposition if voters approve it.
The motion was presented and passed during a public business session; no public referendum results exist yet. The board did not adopt an immediate change in membership numbers at the meeting — it placed the proposition on the ballot for voter decision.
