New school board election filing deadline approaching

Berne Tri-Weekly News:

The deadline to file as a candidate for a local school district in Indiana is approaching, according to South Adams School Superintendent Scott Litwiller. Under new policy, all school board elections across Indiana would be moved to the November ballot under a bill that has gained final approval from the state legislation.

Locally, that choice was always made in the May primary.

The proposal would complete the practice of allowing local boards to decide whether to hold the nonpartisan election during the May or the November elections, starting with the 2012 elections.
