White Mountain AEC Election – Two Open Seats
White Mountain will have two open seats on our Advisory Education Committee (AEC) this year.
Community members who are interested in running for the AEC should let the school know of their candidacy between September 1 and September 20.
To be eligible, candidates must be at least 18 years old, meet residency requirements, and meet the other eligibility requirements for AEC service. Regular Bering Strait School District employees are not eligible to serve on the AEC.
If you are interested in becoming a candidate, please contact White Mountain School or stop by the school to complete an Affidavit of Candidacy.
The AEC election will be held in conjunction with the local municipal elections.
We encourage interested community members to consider serving!
