Polls open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday for Boise School Board election [1]

['Clark Corbin', 'More From Author', '- September']

Date: 2022-09

Polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday at dozens of local schools for the Boise School Board election.

The election takes place on a different date than other local and state elections in Idaho because the district was created by an 1881 charter that predates statehood and specifies the elections are held on the first Tuesday in September in even numbered years.

Boise is Idaho’s second-largest school district based on enrollment, trailing the neighboring West Ada School District.

There are 13 candidates running for five different seats on the school board. School board members, who are also called trustees, are elected at-large. That means any voter may vote in any or all of the races they would like.

Race 1 (two six-year terms, vote for two candidates): Krista Hasler, Beth Oppenheimer, Dave Wagers and Greg Woodard.

Race 2 (one four-year term, vote for one candidate): Andy Hawes, Neil Mercer and Matthew Shapiro.

Race 3 (one two-year term, vote for one candidate): Nate Dean, Dawn King, Todd Kurowski and Elizabeth Langley.

Race 4 (one two-year term, vote for one candidate): Shiva Rajbhandari and Steve Schmidt.

To vote in the election, voters must be at least 18 years old and have lived within the Boise School District boundaries for at least 30 days prior to the election. Eligible voters may vote in the school board election even if they don’t have children or grandchildren attending schools in the district. Just like other Idaho elections, eligible voters who are not yet registered to vote may register at their polling location and vote that day.

Boise School District boundaries are not the same as the boundaries for the city of Boise. Interested voters who are unsure if they live within the school district boundaries may call the district office at 208-854-4000 to verify their address. Voters may vote at any polling location, and the district maintains an electronic database to check to make sure voters have not already voted absentee or at a different election.

District officials will stream live coverage of the vote counting on the Boise School District’s YouTube page. Results will be posted to the school district’s website once they start becoming available after polls close at 8 p.m., district spokesman Ryan Hill said last week.

The winners of Tuesday’s school board election will be sworn in during the Sept. 12 school board meeting.
