BOARD MEMBER ELECTIONS & POLLING LOCATIONS

Being a member of a school board is one of the most rewarding, and possibly the most demanding, things you can do for the children of Cortland and the community in general. Our board is comprised of seven members, each serving a three-year term, with no more than three positions becoming available each year. Terms of office begin on July1 and run until June 30, three years later. In 2024, the terms of three members, out of the seven member Board, are up for election. The election is held on the 3rd Tuesday of May, for 2024 that date is May 21.  Petitions must be filed by May 1 (twenty days prior to the election.)  Please contact the Clerk of the Board at 607-758-4100 ext. 2202 to obtain a petition.

Eligibility for membership is as follows:

• must be a citizen of the United States
• must be 18 years of age
• must be a resident of the district for at least the 1 year immediately preceding the date of the election
• may not reside with another member of the same school board
• may not be a current employee of the school board
• must not hold membership of any City office, other than police officer or firefighter

Any of our members would be glad to talk to you more specifically about the duties of a school board member.
