The school election takes place on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November of odd-numbered years. Each school election is used to elect citizens to the board to maintain a 5-member board and to address other questions that must be submitted to the voters.
Citizens of the school district community seeking a seat on the board must file their nomination papers with the board secretary, or the board secretary’s designee, consistent with the deadlines provided in Iowa law. If a vacancy occurs on the board it may be filled by appointment or by a special election consistent with Iowa law.
All elections will be held as provided in Iowa law. It is the responsibility of the county commissioner of elections to conduct school elections.
