Dear Port Jervis Community,
As a result of Governor Cuomo’s Executive Order, voting for the School Board Elections and Budget will not take place in the traditional manner. Rather, all registered voters will receive a mailing that will include a postage paid return envelope and ballot. The ballot will include the budget proposition and School Board of Education candidates. Additionally, the District is partnering with the Port Jervis Public Library in this process and the ballot for the library’s budget will be included in this mailing. All ballots must be received in the District Office by 5:00 pm on June 9, 2020.
