School Board Qualifying Begins Wednesday

Central Community School Board qualifying will begin tomorrow (Wednesday, July 7) and will continue through this Friday, July 9th.  This round of qualifying is for those who will be running for office to become a member of the School Board for the next three years.  The elections will be in October of this year.  School Board members serve our school system without pay and are responsible for "establishing the policies governing the operation of the Central Community School District" (quoted from the Central School Board website).

Seven School Board members are elected.  Elections happen by district, meaning that each voter in a certain area will only be able to vote for a candidate running in his or her district.  This is not an at-large election like the City Council race.  If you are interested in running for a School Board seat and would like more information, call the Central Community School System office at 262-1919.
