Voting for the Pella Christian School Board Integration is ongoing until Tuesday, February 27th.
Society members can vote at the grade school and/or high school offices between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm on school days. Mailed ballots for those out of the area must be received by 6:30 pm on Tuesday. Final in-person voting will be held on Tuesday from 4:00 to 6:30pm at the Pella Christian High School commons. Society members at Pella Christian Grade School vote at the grade school office and those at Pella Christian High School vote at the high school office. Society members at both schools will need to vote two times–once for each. Pella Christian Head of Schools Dan Zylstra says that there are multiple ways to be a society member.
“The society membership is anybody that sends their children to the school or supports them financially, and there’s a broad definition of what that means. But generally, if you give financially to the school, if you’re part of a church that gives financially towards the school, or you’re affiliated in any other way with an organization that gives financially towards school, then you’d be part of the society. And there’s two separate societies, one for the grade school and one for the high school.”
