WATER VALLEY – The qualifying period for school board slots starts August 10 and includes one position in the Water Valley School District and three positions in the Coffeeville School District. Circuit Clerk Daryl Burney reported the positions include District 5 in the Water Valley School District and Districts 1,4 and 5 in the Coffeeville School District.
The slots will appear on the November 8 ballot that will also include the Presidential race and Congressional seats. Circuit Clerk Daryl Burney reminds all voters that Saturday, October 8, is the deadline to notify his office of any changes. He listed four criteria that would warrant a trip to his offices in Water Valley or Coffeeville before the deadline – if you have moved, had a name change, if you have never registered to vote or if you turn 18 years old before November 8.
The deadline to qualify for the school board slots is September 9. Currently Chris Terry serves as the District 5 trustee in the Water Valley School District after he was appointed last year to fill the term of Cayce Washington, who stepped down after successfully running for supervisor. The school board terms run for five years.
