Summary

The board called an election for three open seats (two elementary-district seats, one high-school district seat) with a Feb. 9 deadline to be placed on the ballot and May 5 election date; the clerk offered notarization and office hours for filings.

The Whitehall School District clerk explained there are three open seats for the upcoming election—two seats in elementary-district areas and one in the high-school district—with terms running 2026–2029. The clerk provided instructions for candidates on how to file a declaration of intent and oath of candidacy (documents must be notarized) and said she is available to assist Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

"The deadline to be placed on the ballot, if an election is required, is February 9," the clerk said, and the clerk also noted the deadline for write-in candidates is March 2 and the election date is May 5. A board member moved to call for the election and the motion passed by voice vote.

The clerk offered to email forms or make them available in the district office for prospective candidates.
