On the same ballot is the Library Budget, $2,185,366, yes/no.  There is one open trustee seat with one candidate, Margaret D. Grub. The term is five years.

Seaford Board of Education YouTube Channel

The annual NY  Board of Education budget meeting has sometimes been both illuminating and contentious. On May 5, 2021, it was held in the high school auditorium with admission limited to those who wore approved masks. Livestream on YouTube failed.

Go to the Seaford Board of Education Meeting Channel, linked HERE. Note that the May 5th meeting has one segment lasting 8:43 minutes (mostly a single statement) and another segment of 7:10 minutes. 

Apparently the Board of Education cannot publish the appropriate link to an upcoming public meeting until they start the camera.

School budget vote by mail only

Please see this executive order by Governor Andrew Cuomo: HERE..

Throughout New York state, the date for the school budget and trustee seats is June 9, 2020. However, all votes will be by mail, and the school districts will send out absentee ballots. Other districts have announced these plans on their websites, but Seaford has not yet done so. I presume the library vote will be heldon the same day.

At the Harbor school a different entrance and voting room was used.  Signs directed voters to the rear parking lot and a doorway to an east-west corridor, then west along the corridor to the half-gym, where the voting personnel and equipment were.  We filled in ovals and used one large sheet of paper per voter. The old lever machines (used as recently as 2014?) did not consume paper, but apparently they are no longer stored and maintained by the Nassau County Board of Elections.
