[Vision2020] school board election

[Mike Curley]

<color><param>0100,0100,0100</param>Bill and others: 

1.  Yes, voters may only vote for candidates in their  
specific Zone. 

2.  Yes, one can only vote if s/he lives in the Zone--only  
those people in Zone 2 and Zone 5 may vote in this  
election, and of course, a Zone 2 resident cannot vote for  
a Zone 5 candidate. 

3.  The district boundary is a complicated legal description 
 that doens't follow any particular road--at least as  
described.  The Zone boundaries are a little better, but the 
 redrawing of the zones every ten years coupled with the  
fact that UI residents are apparently listed by the census  
bureau (whose numbers the district MUST use as I  
understand it) as ALL living in the same place--one  
address, not individual counts by dorm (go figure) means  
that the district boundaries are very hard to follow.  You  
can find them at the district website sd281.k12.id.us-- 
under Board of Trustees there is a link to boundaries.   


In shortened version, Zone 2 starts at D St. and Van Buren, 
 runs east on D past McDonald School, over to Mt. View  
(north), then east on Darby and jogs around the Robinson  
Park area until it meanders back south to Hiway 8, back  
west to Blaine, then north to 6th, west toward downtown  
on 6th to Van Buren (back side of courthouse) and then  
back north to D where we began.  (clear, huh?) 


Zone 5 starts in the extreme NW corner of the district on  
the Idaho-Washington border and runs east and south on  
the district boundary (north of Viola essentially) and then  
cuts south toward Robinson Park and comes back west  
on Moscow Mt. and West Twin Rds, then back north to  
Idlers Rest where it turns west again on Foot Hill, hits  
Hiwy 95 and starts South to Sweet--then it begins some  
really jiggered moves through the University (because of  
the aforementioned problem of allocation of student  
population) and pops up again south of UI where it picks  
up the little strip of district between 95 and the ID-WA  
border down to the south end of the district--which is quite 
 a distance, but not many residents.   


 So, zone 5 is very roughly the area west of Hy 95 except a  
part of UI and the area north of a line from 95 east on Foot 
 Hill and Moscow Mt. Road.  Zone 2 is between D and Hwy  
8 east of Blaine, between 6th and D from Blaine to Van  
Buren.

As I understand May 20 is the Moscow School Board  
election. 

I would like someone with more info than I to post to the 

list the specifics of this election-- -can voters only vote 

for the board member representing their district? (so can 

voters only vote if they live in those districts?) -who is 

running and in which districts? -what are the boundaries of 

the districts with elections (posting a map of the district 

would be great)? -how about a statement from the  
candidates 

about why they are running, what they want to do about  
major 

district issues? BL
