We are making some changes to the Stargate election process. A Paperless Voting FAQ is available on the Elections page. We also provided the information below via weekly Hischke Happenings/Cable Connections communications to parents. BackgroundTwice a year, you have an opportunity to vote on important school stuff (including electing members to the School Board and the School Accountability Committee). It is important because you vote and decide who serves on the elected boards and committees of Stargate School. What's Changing?To improve voter turnout and reduce our overall election expenses we are going to be moving to paperless email voting, and YOU ARE A BIG PART OF IT.
For the Spring 2018 Stargate Election, we are going to introduce paperless email voting as well as the same paper-based voting that we have offered for the past few years. Why BOTH methods of voting and not just one? As any student of Stargate will tell you, change can take a few tries. As such, our goal is to adopt a completely paperless election in the Fall 2018, but for the election of Spring 2018, we want to offer both options (email or paper) so we can work out any problems with paperless voting before diving all the way. How Will It Work?For the Spring 2018 election, you will still receive a colorful ballot instruction via your Monday folders (ES) or by mail (MS-HS) just like you have in the past. For some of you, these are the paper ballots that your dog ate, or you child did not tell you about until you called the election committee and then found it… but I digress.

Call to Action - What Do You Need to Do Next?In preparation for the spring election we need to YOU to register and reconfirm that you have a VALID EMAIL address in Infinite Campus. We will collect the email addresses from Infinite Campus 30 days prior to the spring election. Even if you believe your email is correct, please double-check. Your vote depends on it!
