Two Board Seats, Multiple Resolutions, Budget to be Voted on in School District Vote

Voting for two open seats on the school board, adoption of the annual budget and multiple resolutions will take place on Tuesday, May 17th between 12:00 noon and 9:00 pm in the large group instruction room at the Whitehall high school on Buckley road.

This year there are multiple resolutions on the ballot also:

1.) Voters will be asked to keep the school board at its current 9 members or shrink the number to 7.
2.) Voters will also be asked whether the term of the members should be 5 years or be shortened to 3 years.
3.) Voters will be asked to approve the purchase of two 65-passenger school buses, not to exceed the cost of $230,000.
4.) Residents will also vote an the annual school budget.

Once again there are numerous candidates running for the two available seats. I will be covering this election and the ballot propositions during the next few weeks, so please stop back for more updates.
