November 8th Election Polling Place
The Douglas County Election Commission has named your school building as a polling place for the November 2022 election on November 8. Westside Community Schools is not involved in this decision, though as in past years, we work closely with polling place officials to determine we are doing everything we can to ensure a positive environment with the safety of our staff and students noted as a top priority.
A few things to keep in mind:
- This process of using public buildings such as schools as polling sites has been occurring for many years, staffed by trained volunteers, and typically takes place in a portion of the building close to an entrance and secluded/locked off from the rest of the school.
- Our principals, administrative assistants, and other staff members, including our School Resource Officers, are aware and will be checking in on these polling areas to ensure all runs smoothly without disruption, and that visitors do not access any other portions of our building beyond the polling place.
- Many metro area schools in other districts have also been designated as polling place outside of Westside Community Schools.
Thank you for your help and support. We do not anticipate any issues with this important American process but want to ensure we keep you updated as we prepare.
