On March 15, the Senate Local Government and Elections Committee heard sponsor testimony on House Bill 458. This bill would eliminate the August Special Election except under limited circumstances. School districts and other political subdivisions need every opportunity to pass a local bond issue, an operating levy, and other issues necessary for their communities. We will keep members updated an opportunity to testify. A testimony template to assist you with your district’s story is available here. In addition, please take time to reach out to your Senator so that he or she understands how the elimination of the August election impacts your school district and potential operating needs.
