The Advocacy Committee wants to remind you that Wake County has local municipal elections coming up on Tuesday, November 7th! The town of Apex is voting for Mayor and two seats on the Town Council. You can vote early between October 19th and November 4th, or in person on Election Day. In order to ensure voting is accessible to all, curbside voting is available during early voting and on election day at all sites. You can also request an absentee ballot to vote by mail. If you have questions about your polling place or registration status, you can call 1-888-OUR-VOTE or visit vote.org.

The Who's Who
LPES is in District 9, which is represented at the Wake County Board of Education (BOE) by Tyler Swanson (tjswanson@wcpss.net). If you have questions or concerns that you would like represented at a BOE level, Tyler is the person to contact.
You may find that when you go to the polls to vote, you will be voting for the BOE member in another district (i.e., District 8). Some families that are in the LPES school district actually live outside of the BOE District 9. While this is very confusing at times, Tyler Swanson is the representative of LPES and the right person to contact. For questions about advocacy that you want directed to the LPES PTA, Michelle O'Keefe is the Advocacy Chair. Please reach out to her at LPESPTAAdvocacy@gmail.com. |
