The requirements for filing nominating petitions for a school board vary depending upon the type of school district. Generally, candidates must submit a nominating petition to the school district clerk. The petition must be signed by at least 25 qualified district voters or two percent of the number of those who voted in the previous annual election, whichever number is greater. In small city school districts, nominating petitions must be signed by at least 100 qualified voters. The petition must include the following: • Candidate’s name and residence • Vacancy in question • Incumbent’s name (if any) • Residences of the persons who signed the petition • Length of the term of office for which the candidate is being nominated Blank petitions are often available from the district clerk. If a school district runs for seats “at large” such that each nominee is eligible for each vacancy, the nominating petition does not need to identify the specific incumbent’s seat the nominee is seeking. This petition must be filed with the district clerk at least 30 days (20 days in small city districts) before the election meeting, between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. In 2022 nominating petitions in small city school districts must be filed by April 27th, in other districts nominating petitions must be filed by April 18th.
