Board Election Process
If you would like to be considered for the elected 3-year term on the AVA Board of Directors, please complete the nomination form. The nomination will require 10 signatures of eligible voters: AVA parents and staff. The form must be turned in to the AVA front office or emailed to the current board president at [email protected] before April 30th at 4:00pm. When submitted, the form will be time stamped, and you will be given a receipt acknowledging acceptance of the nomination form. If there is only one nominee, the nominee will win the seat, and there will be no election. If no nominations are received, the current AVA Board of Directors will appoint the seat.
In addition to the nomination form above, candidates are required to submit a campaign questionnaire to answer a few basic questions about service and why they would like to serve on the board of directors. When submitted, the answers may not exceed two pages and must be submitted at the same time as the nomination form mentioned above. The campaign questionnaire for each candidate will be posted on the school website and emailed to the school community on prior to the election, so our community can get to know you. There will be a candidate forum prior to the election and candidates will be required to attend to address any community questions.
The election will take place May 12th through May 14th (3 days). Each parent and AVA staff member may vote once per AVA Board Election Policy. No Proxy voting will be allowed.
The election committee requests that all candidates and members of the AVA community abide by the following expectations:
Focus on philosophy, policy, and issues
No personal attacks
No campaigning on school property
Keep the campaign positive in nature, reflecting the R.E.S.P.E.C.T. values of AVA
No personal attacks
No campaigning on school property

The election committee reserves the right to disqualify any candidate who fails to abide by these expectations.
The AVA Election Committee will tabulate the votes and announce the results at the May 15th AVA Board meeting. The AVA board may also appoint the two additional member seats at the AVA Board meeting May 15th, from the election pool. To be considered for an appointed seat the Board requests that individuals run for the elected seat to encourage community transparency.
