 November 8th
Frontier Regional School teams up with Frontier Community Access Television every other year to produce a LIVE broadcast covering the national and local voting. The project includes a broad scope of technology tools such as tablet technology combined with Google Apps for Education as well as Video Production technologies. The project brings to the forefront age-appropriate discussion during a historically significant event in our nation.

On election day our Government class conducts exit polls outside the 4 town locations. We tabulate that information into graphs in real time using google forms and google sheets with calculations and charts already programed.

In the evening we conduct LIVE television interviews with local officials and ask challenging questions about the issues and elections. 


National Mock Elections November 3rd
A week before the actual elections we conduct student voting using the National Student Mock Election website online ballot.  http://nationalmockelection.org/  It gives students the opportunity to cast their votes for candidates or local issues. 50 million students participate nationally. The results are also tallied in real time. Classes come to the Library Media Center to cast their ballot. Poll officials check off names as they enter the library.
