Horizon Elementary School Community Council Elections

School Community Council Elections – Candidate Information

Horizon Elementary School is preparing for elections to fill our open two-year positions on our School Community Council for the 2025-2026 through 2026-2027 school years. We invite all interested parents and school staff to consider serving on the council, which plays a crucial role in shaping our school’s success. There are six (6) open positions for parents/guardians and one (1) open position for school employees.

Parent/Guardian Members must have a child at the school for at least one of the two years of their term, may not hold an educator’s license and work at the school, and are elected by the parents/guardians of children enrolled at the school.
School Employee Members must be employed at the school and elected by school employees. The principal automatically serves on the council as a voting member.

How to Get on the Ballot:

If you are a parent interested in serving on the council, please complete and submit a candidate form by August 28, 2025. Forms are also available in the office.

What Happens Next:

If we receive more candidate forms than available positions, a vote will be held from September 2 to 4, 2025.
If we receive fewer candidate forms than available positions, the existing parent members will appoint new parent members, and the existing school employee members will appoint new school employee members to fill the remaining seats.

We encourage all parents and employees to consider this opportunity to be involved in meaningful decisions that affect our school community.

If you have any questions, please contact Principal Mindy Ball at mball@murrayschools.org or 801-264-7420
