Will there be school board elections in 2020? Pursuant to COVID-19 Executive Order 202.13, any school board, public library board, and village elections scheduled to take place in April or May 2020 have been postponed until at least June 1, 2020. Although it makes reference to elections only, the Governor’s office has confirmed that the Order applies to school budget votes as well. In addition, the Order indicates that such elections and budget votes are subject to further directives as to the timing, location or manner of voting.
What should school board candidates do regarding the collection of nominating petition signatures? Pursuant to Executive Order 202.13, the circulation, filing, and collection of any designating petitions, or independent nominating petitions for any office that would otherwise be circulated or filed pursuant to the Election Law, Education Law or any other consolidated law for any office commencing March 31 have been postponed. Prior to the Order, NYSSBA had issued a statement discouraging the in-person collection of nominating petition signatures as a health safety precaution to avoid exposure to COVID-19.
The previously scheduled Budget Workshop section of the April 21, 2020 Board of Education Meeting has been postponed. The date of the next Budget Workshop is yet to be determined.
The meeting on April 21, 2020 will start at 6:00 PM and consist of an Executive Session followed at 7:30 PM with the Business Meeting and ESBOCES Budget Vote and Election.
