SAC BALLOTS

In an effort to better inform our stakeholders and serve our school, the School Advisory Council will have a new election for the parent voting members for the 2014-2015 school year. The new process will include a submission from each candidate with some information about themselves. All votes that were collected previously will not be used. Please cast your votes as soon as the candidate forms and ballots appear on the website, the ROAR, or in the front office. Voting will take place from October 1st through October 10th. We are currently compiling the entry forms and will post them to the public as soon as possible. We hope that you will participate. If you have any questions please contact Laurie.stanton@stjohns.k12.fl.us
