Board of Education

Our Board of Education consists of five members who are each elected to 5-year terms.  Elections for Board trustee are held each May as seats become open. If you are interested in running for a seat on the Board of Education please contact the District Clerk at (518)924-6000 or by email at rdwyer@wellscsd.org. 

A voter petition must be filed with the school board at least 30 days before the election date. Please contact the Main Office at 518-924-6000 for a Voter Petition.

There will be one seat on the ballot for a 5-year term (commencing July 1, 2023 and ending June 30, 2028) to fill the seat presently held by Kenneth Hoffman.

There will also be one seat on the ballot for a 2-year term (commencing July 1, 2023 and ending June 30, 2025) to fill the seat formerly held by Rachel Lauria.
