You’re correct. SOME non-citizens can vote in school elections, I understand. I don’t get it.
In some areas, if they pay local taxes, they can vote in local elections.
Local laws for local elections vary and in a lot of cases are based on residence and not citizenship. Fed law is clear - citizens vote.
In NYC, (I don’t know if this is still true, but it used to be) school board elections were heard on a different day than general elections because anyone who had a child in school or who was a citizen (and therefore paying for the schools) had the right to vote.
