North Lake School District canvassers certify April 7 Spring School Board election results
Summary
The Board of Canvassers certified the April 7, 2026 Spring School Board Election results using election machine tapes from the Town of Merton and the Village of Chenequa; the minutes list candidate certification and jurisdictional tallies though the transcript formatting is ambiguous on exact mapping of numeric columns.
The North Lake School District Board of Canvassers on April 13, 2026 certified the results of the April 7 Spring School Board Election.
"The Board of Canvassers totaled the number of votes for each candidate based on the election machine tapes provided by the Town of Merton and the Village of Chenequa," said Jenny Sellhausen, the district's deputy clerk. The minutes record that the board certified the election results and specifically list the entry "Rich Hawkins — Certified." The written minutes also include jurisdictional tallies and write-in counts; the transcript's table formatting makes the precise mapping of those numbers to candidate and write-in columns ambiguous and is therefore not restated here in interpreted form.
The certification was entered in the official minutes without a recorded mover or seconder for that particular action; the record states the board completed its totaling and certification. The certification entry in the minutes references machine tapes provided by the Town of Merton and the Village of Chenequa as the source material for the canvass.
The board's routine canvass followed an agenda the board had approved earlier in the meeting and was recorded in the minutes as completed before the meeting adjourned at 9:07 a.m. The minutes close with the deputy clerk's signature line indicating the minutes were "respectfully submitted" by Jenny Sellhausen.
