As each election season approaches, districts and their staff are faced with a myriad of questions regarding campaign and election activity. What information may a district provide to voters? May candidates or campaigns use district facilities for election or campaign activities? May district staff be involved in ballot measure campaigns or endorse candidates? The focus on local, state, and national elections this November, not to mention many state and district ballot measures, is sure to increase the number of questions facing districts this year.
