It’s that time of the year again and Trego School has two trustee positions to fill. As ever, if there is only one candidate per position, they will be elected by acclamation with no election held.
When’s the deadline to file? Applicants must file no later than Thursday, March 28th.
Am I qualified? Are you a resident of the district? Qualified to vote? Then, yes! You are qualified.
What do I need to do? File an oath of candidacy and declaration of intent with the school clerk before the deadline. (Show up. Fill out paperwork)
When’s the election? Tuesday, May 7th. For mail-in elections, ballots will be sent out earlier.
How many vacancies? Despite the absence on the county website– two. A full term is three years, but one of the vacancies is shorter than that.
