On June 9 as part of the Annual School Budget Vote is the Board Elections, and voters will elect three members to the Board of Education. Members are elected for a term of three years and serve without pay. These seats are currently held by Margaret Cardona, Kevin Glover and Joyce Kostyk. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Governor Cuomo has changed the deadline to submit letter of intent and suspended the requirement that potential Board of Education candidates file petitions with resident signatures.

All Fairport residents are welcome to submit a petition to run for one of the three open seats on the Board. Interested candidates are to submit a letter of intent by Monday, May 11 to Deputy District Clerk Taylor Buffa via email at tbuffa@fairport.org.
