SF School Board candidate petitions available

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) -  Candidates for two seats on the Sioux Falls School Board can pick up petitions for the April 14^th election.

District spokesman Ben Schumacher says the election is to fill vacancies when the terms of Kate Parker and Todd Thoelke expire.

Schumacher says there was a petition that parents turned last year challenging school start dates which the school board approves four years out.             

Voters will decide to accept the school board calendar or open school no earlier than first Tuesday following the first Monday in September.

This election will also utilize the 13 vote center allowing voters to cast ballots at any location.
