School board elections are held at the consolidated election on the first Tuesday in April of each odd-numbered year. (If that date conflicts with Passover, the election moves to the second Tuesday.) The terms of board members are staggered so there are three or four seats contested at each biennial election.

Links on this page are intended to provide access to information and publications regarding the next election that should be helpful for school board members, candidates, and voters.
