Special school election April 1

Fairfield Community School District has a special election scheduled April 1, that will include one school board seat up for election.

Filing papers and information are available at the district?s Administration/Curriculum/Technology Center. Candidate papers must be returned to the A/C/T offices by 5 p.m. Friday to have the candidate?s name on the April 1 ballot.

Former school board member Amy Miller, elected in 2011, resigned in November.

Phil Miller was appointed by the school board to fill the vacancy until the next school district election, which is April 1.

Anyone elected to fill this seat on April 1 will serve on the board until the end of Amy Miller?s four-year term, September 2015.

The special election also is asking voters to approve a 10-year continuation of the 67-cent Physical Plant and Equipment Levy. The current PPEL expires in FY15. The funds are used to purchase buses.
