Board clerk: petitions due April 29; voting machines to be set up and staff trained before the May 19 vote
Summary
Board clerk Miss Ashley told the board that petitions for two seats are due April 29 (100 signatures) and that the new voting machines will be set up and staff/poll‑worker trainings will be held May 7 ahead of the district's May 19 budget vote and board election.
The district's board clerk reported details for the upcoming school election: petitions for two open board seats are due Wednesday, April 29 at 5 p.m., and new voting machines have arrived and will be unpacked, configured and used in training before the May 19 vote.
Miss Ashley told the board three petition packets have been picked up so far but none had been returned at the time of the meeting. She said the vendor will set up the machines and the election software, and will run an in‑person training for central‑office staff and approved poll workers on May 7; vendor staff will also be on hand on election day.
The clerk added that the sign‑in software for voters will be used and that contingency staff are being trained so the day runs smoothly. The board noted the schedule for petition submission and the vendor‑assisted training timeline as part of the required election preparations.
Next steps: the clerk will accept petitions through the April 29 deadline, complete machine setup with the vendor and run the May 7 training session for staff and poll workers before the May 19 budget vote and board election.
