Matanuska-Susitna Borough Proposition A: School Board Terms

What does this measure do?

This changes Mat-Su school board terms from three to four years, with short transition terms to align seat elections with Assembly districts. Voters would elect each board member less often; the measure adds no tax.

A YES vote means

Yes makes school board terms four years after shorter transition terms for some seats. School board and matching Assembly seats would start terms in the same year.

A NO vote means

No keeps three-year school board terms and the current election schedule. It does not change taxes.
