Are You Interested In Being A Board Member?
This November Central Lyon residents will go to the polls to elect three members to the School Board. Each elected member of the board will serve a four-year term.
Community members interested in running for office are encouraged to contact Superintendent Brent Jorth or Board Secretary Jackie Wells by calling 472-2664 to learn more about the process of getting their name on the ballot.
