TO PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATES FOR THE POTSDAM CENTRAL SCHOOL BOARD OF EDUCATION

           An original petition for candidacy for the Board of Education must be received by the District Clerk by 5:00 PM on Monday, April 17, 2023, with at least twenty-five (25) signatures of eligible voters of the Potsdam Central School District, together with their addresses (not post office box numbers), are required.  Please check signatures carefully (i.e., Jane Doe, not Mrs. John Doe or J. Doe; initials are not valid unless they are the individual’s usual signature for voting or legal purposes).  No one may legally sign for another voter.

         A candidate's position on the ballot will be determined by a drawing in the Superintendent's Office on April 18, 2023 at 9:00 a.m.  You may be present at that time.

       EDUCATION LAW REQUIRES THAT ALL CANDIDATES FILE A STATEMENT OF EXPENDITURES FOR ELECTION PURPOSES WITH THE CLERK WITHIN 10 DAYS FOLLOWING THE ELECTION, or a statement that you did not spend in excess of $500 for election purposes.  While we are aware that spending is seldom an issue in Potsdam Central elections, we are required by law to receive these statements, and your cooperation will be greatly appreciated.  Please direct this statement to the School District Clerk, Potsdam Central Schools, 29 Leroy Street, Potsdam, New York 13676 as soon as possible following the vote on May 16, 2023.
