Fredonia superintendent urges families to vote May 19 on district budget and term-limit proposition
Summary
Superintendent Brad Zilliox urged Fredonia Central School District families to vote Tuesday, May 19, from 2 to 9 p.m. in the high school cafeteria on the proposed budget and a separate proposition to shorten future board members' terms from five years to three. A budget newsletter will be mailed to households with details.
Superintendent Brad Zilliox urged Fredonia Central School District families to vote on the district budget next Tuesday, May 19, saying the polls will be open from 2 to 9 p.m. in the high school cafeteria.
Zilliox said, "As you may know, our budget vote is 1 week away, which is next Tuesday on May nineteenth from 2 to 9PM right here in the high school cafeteria." He encouraged community participation and said the district wants "everyone to have their voice heard and participate in the vote."
The district is mailing a budget newsletter to households that, Zilliox said, "discusses changes within the district, our key programs and offerings, our desire to meet the needs of all learners and families, and a complete breakdown of the financial components of the budget." The newsletter is intended to provide voters with the details they need to review the spending plan before the election.
In addition to the budget question, Zilliox announced a second proposition on the ballot that would change term limits for future members of the board of education from five years to three years. "Additionally, there is a second proposition to vote on. There is a proposed change in term limits for future board of education members from 5 years to 3 years," he said.
Voters will also select candidates for two open seats on the board, Zilliox added. "You can also vote for candidates to replace the 2 open seats currently on the board." No outcome or board action was recorded in this announcement; the items are scheduled for the public vote.
The announcement closed with a final reminder: "Please come out and vote on May 19," and a brief sign-off from Zilliox. The district did not provide vote locations beyond "the high school cafeteria" in this message and did not state the total budget amount, estimated tax impact, or other financial specifics in the recording; those details, the superintendent said, are in the mailed budget newsletter.
