Get on Board - The School Board!
Elections are just around the corner, so now is the time to act. Interested in serving on the school board but didn't submit a petition to be named on the ballot? Consider a write-in campaign! Let your friends, family, and neighbors know that you are interested in a specific seat and ask them to show their support by writing your name on the ballot when they cast their vote!
If you are running a write-in campaign, and would like the district to be aware, please contact Max Burman at mburman@rnesu.org
