Correction: an early version of this story said three seats were open on the Massena School District Board of Education. In fact only one seat is open. North Coutnry This Week regrets the error.

St. Lawrence County schools will ask district voters to approve school budgets next month, and board of education seats will also be decided at that time.

Board petitions in most districts are due by April 17. Ogdensburg school is a small city school district, so their requirements vary slightly, with petitions due by April 26.
