Deadlines for Districts Considering Ballot Measures

Districts and committees placing measures on the ballot must meet the following deadlines. (Please note: Argument and Rebuttal deadlines may be adjusted to work with publishing deadlines, or if a district is unable to assign a committee to write an argument.)
