Circular Letter to County Supern-
tendents ELECTION Notices.)
Gentlemen: The law provides that
notices of election OF school directors
shall be posted on the second Mon
day in March March 14th) and that
the election shall be held on the first
Monday in April (April 4th). In some
cases we find that the election notices
have not been posted as provided by
law. I wish to state that the date of
established by law is largely direc-
tory and if notices are posted the next
Monday and the election held on April
4th as provided by law, said election
will be regarded as regular, provided
it cannot be proven that the results
would have been different had the no.
tices of election been posted on March
18th. The purpose of the notices is to
give information to the electors. If
such information is given by posting
notices a week later from the date
specified by law, the result of the elec-
tion held on election day will un-
doubtedly hold good.
l wish to emphasize the fact that
if any protest concerning the result OF
the election is to be given considera-
tion it must be filed in the Office OF
the county superintendent within thir
ty days after the date of the election.
The general election law providing
for the printing and registration Of
ballots does not apply to school elec
tions. 1t may be WELL however, tc
have ballots printed. In any event
the name of the candidate and the
length of term for which he is to be
elected should appear on the writer
or printed ballot in order that there
may be no misunderstanding as to the
results.
1t still seems to be opinion of some
county superintendents that thei
school districts must hold school fo
period of three months in each year
A few years ago there was such Law
on the statute books. There is non
of this nature at present. 1t is
fact that the salary of the county ST
perintendent is fixed on the basis Q
the number of school rooms in whic
school is kept for a period of thre
months, but it is not a fact that tn
districts are deprived of their quot
having held school for three month
during the year.
Yours very respectfully,
