“Clarification: The Notice of Vacancy On School Board Newell School District #9-2 published twice in the Butte County Post in March, 2017, announces that three at large school board positions will become vacant due to expiration of present terms of office, two for three year terms, and one for a one year term. There are no “representation areas” in the Newell School District, and all the school board positions are elected at large. The designation of School Board Member “A” and “B” in the Notice of Vacancy does not alter or affect the at large election procedures historically used by the Newell School District, which will apply to the upcoming election.”
