If you are uncertain where to vote, please click here to look up your polling place or click here to print an absentee ballot application.

If you request that the absentee ballot be mailed to you, your application must be received by the district clerk for your school district no later than 7 days before the election for which you seek an absentee ballot.

Otherwise, you may personally deliver your application to the district clerk no later than the day before the election.

KEYWORDS: taxes
Notice that school budget and other referendum votes require "absentee" ballots, not simply a mail in vote?

Notice you have to vote at the school (with the entire teacher staff).

Why do they make it so hard to vote (against more taxes) for budgets at these schools?

AHH, the more people who can vote the easier these get rejected. I guess Covid concerns only apply when it's convenient.

New York already spends BY FAR the most on education, per student, compared to any other state.

Its nearly double the national average. No one is allowed to question leftist education memes, or the power of the teacher’s unions.

$130 MILLION for THIS BIT OF WORK at six schools???? You’ve got bigger problems of when and where to vote on it. Not long ago, you could have built three brand new schools for that amount of money. Plus, the most important thing of all is missing — which bathroom will the trannie kids use?

Notice their rationale? They are retiring 120 million of debt, so this is no prob, just a wash.

Taking on new debt to retire old debt — AKA, rolling over the debt.

That's why they vote at the schools a few weeks before Christmas when everyone is busy, so only the teachers vote.
