(Enterprise photo â Kevin Shea) If you want to run for your local public school board, the deadline to file your candidacy is Monday afternoon. That date is the same for every school district in the state. The school election day for board members, budgets and special propositions is also the same statewide Tuesday, May 18. All school terms are for three years, except for one unexpired term in Lake Placid. Each candidate needs to file a petition with at least 25 qualified signatures. (The requirement is for either 25 or 2% of the number of voters in the district’s last election, but for that 2% to be more than 25, a district would have to have had more than 1,250 voters, and the Adirondack Park’s districts are too small for that.)
