CAMPAIGN EXPENDITURE AND CONTRIBUTION STATEMENTS

FOR CANDIDATES FOR MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION

ROCHESTER CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT

New York Education Law requires that school board candidates file campaign expenditure and contribution statements. State law (§§ 1528-1531) provides that if a school board candidate’s campaign expenditures exceed $500, the candidate must file a sworn statement with both the district clerk and the commissioner of education itemizing their expenditures and contributions received. If personal expenditures and contributions received are less than $500 each, then only a sworn statement filed with the District Clerk stating that expenditures and contributions did not exceed $500 each is required.
