Deadline To Submit Petitions To Run For Merrick BOE Extended
You now have extra time to submit petitions if you want to run, but not much.

From Merrick School District: In addition to voting on the proposed 2018-19 budget on May 15, Merrick School District residents will also have the opportunity to elect three members to the district’s Board of Education. One candidate who initially filed paperwork to run for the Board has withdrawn his petition. By law, the district must now extend the deadline for individuals to file a nominating petition to run for the Board. The new deadline to file a petition is Tuesday, May 8 by 5 p.m. All paperwork is due to the Office of the District Clerk by this time.
If you are interested in filing a nominating petition or have any questions, please contact District Clerk Clarice Rebentisch at 516-992-7200.
Please also note that the PTA Meet the Candidates Forum, originally scheduled for Monday, May 7, has been rescheduled as a result of the deadline extension. The forum will now take place on Monday, May 14 at Birch School, beginning at 7 p.m.
