Peabody-Burns school district patrons need to return their completed ballots on the local option budget increase to the Marion County Clerk’s office by noon Tuesday.

The ballots were accompanied by a paid envelope for return of the ballot, but they also may be hand-delivered to the clerk’s office as long as it is before the deadline.

In the past issue of the Peabody Gazette-Bulletin, USD 398 Superintendent Ron Traxson was quoted as saying, “The most important thing people can do is return their ballot.”
