ELECTION NOTICE!
Greetings, Columbus Cougar families and the Columbus community. I’m Casey Klasna, Superintendent of Columbus Public Schools. I’m reaching out today to provide some important information regarding our upcoming school election on Tuesday, May 5th.
The Ballot Process
This is a mail-ballot election. Ballots were mailed to all registered voters within the Columbus School District , Friday, April 17th.
When your envelope arrives, it will contain four items:
1-Clear instructions; 2-your ballot; 3- a secrecy envelope; 4-a return envelope
Important Note!
To ensure your vote counts, you must sign the back of the return envelope and provide your birth year in the box provided. Without that signature and birth year, the ballot cannot be verified.
What’s on the Ballot? The ballot is divided into two sections:
Section 1 is the Trustee Election: You will be asked to vote for two candidates for the three-year terms, and one candidate for the one-year term.
Section 2 contains the Technology Levies: You will see two separate propositions for Technology Acquisition and Depreciation—one for the High School District and one for the Elementary District. Please remember to mark 'For' or 'Against' in both propositions
Deadlines and Delivery
All ballots must be received by 8:00 PM on Tuesday, May 5th. You can return them via mail using the provided envelope, or you can hand-deliver them directly to the High School office by 8pm on May 5.

I want to thank you for taking the time to exercise your right to vote and for your continued engagement with our schools. If you have any questions about the voting process or the propositions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Go Cougars!"
