Souza targets school board elections

State Sen. Mary Souza is pitching legislation that aims to increase voter turnout at Idaho school trustee elections. Souza, a Coeur d’Alene Republican, will introduce a potential bill today to the Senate State Affairs Committee. The proposed legislation calls for allowing school boards to decide whether they want to keep trustee voting within the existing trustee zones or open trustee voting district-wide. It would also move the trustee election date from May to November, during the general election/ Bethany Blitz , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here.
