The Salida School District Board of Education is reminding voters about the November 7th general election.
The district is comprised of seven directors, with five geographic seats and two at-large seats. The November election will include five seats up for election–Districts 1, 2 and 5 and two at-large seats. All incumbents have indicated that they are running for re-election with the exception of Carrie Mattix in District 1.
A candidate for the school board must be a resident of the school district and a registered voter for at least 12 consecutive months prior to the election. Because school director elections are nonpartisan, candidates may not campaign as members of a political party.
A person who desires to be a candidate for school director must file a nomination petition signed by 50 eligible voters. Petitions and required affidavits will be available at the School District Office beginning August 9th.
