open positions for its board of directors in the May special elec-
tion.
Interested individuals are encouraged to attend the next
couple of meetings (Feb. 13 and March 13 at 7 p.m. at Perrydale

Board members serve four-year terms and meet monthly,
with additional meetings as needed. The board is responsible
for setting higher-level policies, establishing and keeping on
track the district’s adopted budget, determining the strategic
direction of the district, and supervising the superintendent.
Candidates must be registered voters and have lived in the dis-
trict boundaries for one year immediately preceding the elec-
tion.
Submit a candidate filing form to the Polk County Elections
Office by 5 p.m. on March 16.
The district also is seeking two people to serve on the budget
committee. Qualified persons interested in serving on the
budget committee may submit a written letter of interest and
application to the superintendent before March 1. Appoint-
ments will be made by the board at its regular meeting on
March 13.
