It is the policy of the Board of Education to encourage eligible voters of the Chenango Valley Central School District to exercise their right to vote on school district matters. Each year the district budget for the upcoming school year is brought before the voters. Occasionally other issues are brought to public vote as a result of a Board of Education resolution or petitions presented to the district.
Eligible voter qualifications include: eighteen (18) years of age or older, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the school district for at least thirty (30) days. Voters will be required to display proof of residency at all school Board member and school budget votes. The Chenango Valley Board of Education deems the following forms of identification acceptable as proof of residency:
New York State Driver’s License
New York State Identification Card
Senior Citizen Identification Card, or
Utility bill that indicates district residency
This procedure ensures that all voters are residents of Chenango Valley Central School District at the time of the school Board member and/or school budget votes.
Voting hours, unless otherwise required by New York State law, shall be from noon until 8:00 p.m. on the third Tuesday in May.
Reasonable accommodations will be made to assist voters with disabilities and signs will also be posted to assist voters.
