From one of our members:
There is currently a bill (MN House file 69) moving it’s way through that would require local elections, including school board elections, to be held on even years only. I believe the idea behind it is voter turnout. We know however, that the voters that come out in odd years, especially to school board only elections, are usually highly informed voters and that works to our advantage. Word on the street is Matt Audette is working hard behind the scenes to make sure this bill passes as it would extend his time by a year and help him in future elections. I really think this could hurt school boards and the Parent Alliance pushing for it confirms my concern.
