Jordan-Elbridge voters will hit the polls from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday May 17 to vote on five propositions, including the 2011-12 budget, and elect three new school board members.
The terms of school board president Mary Alley and board members Jeanne Pieklik and Diana Foote are up this spring, and all three have all chosen not to run for re-election.
The school board has been under scrutiny since last summer for a rash of unexplained district firings, which were followed by months of contentious board meetings and heated arguments.
Lynette Zelias, Lisa Long, David Gallaro and Terrence Hanchett will run for the three open spots.

A public hearing for the budget is scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday May 10 at Ramsdell Middle School. The May 17 budget vote will take place at the high school.
