Friday, November 9, 2018

Updated on Friday, November 9, 2018:

The Special Election for an Active Teacher Trustee to the District of Columbia Retirement Board (DCRB) was delayed due to an unfortunate error related to the printing and mailing of the Election Notice and Nomination Package. The envelopes containing the notice of election, request for nominations, and statement of candidacy forms were mislabeled.
