Consider this your gentle civic heads-up: petitions for school board vacancies for the 2026–27 school year may begin circulating on February 2, 2026, for the June 2, 2026 election.


Available Vacancies


  • Two (2) four-year terms

  • One (1) two-year term


The terms of Board members Megan Snyder, Brian Voight, and Thomas Schneller are expiring. As approved by the Board in December, the two seats previously designated as three-year terms will now be elected as four-year terms—because apparently three years wasn’t enough time to master parliamentary procedure.


Candidates must reside within the Meade School District 46-1 boundaries. The election will be held with the regular June primary election.



If you know someone who likes supporting schools, serving the community, and attending meetings that may or may not include snacks, please encourage them to check out the election information on the [http://Thank you for your continued service to students—and for reading this far.]district website.

Safety

Absolutely no medication on your person, over the counter or otherwise. All medication must be given through the nurse's office.


Backpacks are to be left in your lockers. Our classrooms are very small and backpacks clutter the aisle. It is a safety thing. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
