Run for Local School Board in Gibraltar School District, MI

Similar to local School Boards, Community College Boards set the overall vision for the college. Community Colleges greatly range in size, with some having several campuses throughout a district or county. Community College Boards (often called Board of Trustees) have a wide range of responsibilities, including adopting an annual budget, hiring key people within the college, and making sure that the college is achieving its goals.

To be eligible, a person must be a qualified school elector. A candidate must be at least 18 years of age; a citizen of the United States; a resident of the state of Michigan for at least 30 days; and a resident of the school district on or before the 30th day prior to the date of the election. A person is ineligible for election or appointment if the person was convicted of a felony involving dishonesty, deceit, fraud or a breach of the public trust within the preceding 20 years, and the conviction was related to the person’s official capacity while holding any elective office or position of employment in local, state or federal government.
