BCSD District News

  • May 31, 2020

     Dear Beacon City School District Community:

    I want to provide an update about the absentee ballots for our budget and school board election. We contracted with a company named NTS Data to print and mail our absentee ballots to all of our registered voters. NTS Data is a company we have worked with on our elections for several years and many districts in New York State and the area have as well.

    On Friday, May 29 NTS Data informed us that they were having trouble with our ballot mailing due to an envelope shortage and supply chain issue. This is an issue that about 50 districts in New York are also having with NTS Data. While NTS Data is working to solve this problem we are working on developing an alternate plan to provide ballots to registered voters in the community in a timely manner. 

    I am sorry for this issue and I will update the community by Monday afternoon on our next steps regarding the election.

    Sincerely,

    Matt Landahl
