Join the School Board
Are you interested in becoming a School Board member?
The School Board Nominating Committee is seeking candidates for nomination to the Scarsdale Board of Education. In 2012, the SBNC will nominate two candidates to the board to fill the seats of Mary Beth Gose who will be completing her first term and is eligible for re-nomination and Lewis Leone, Jr. who will be completing his first term and is eligible for re-nomination.
Please note that Lewis Leone, Jr. was elected to complete the term of Joel Gurin who resigned after not serving a full year in office. Lewis Leone, Jr. took office on May 18, 2010, immediately following the vote that day, so he has served less than three years in his first term.
The SBNC invites all residents to propose candidates for the school board. A candidate must be at least 18 years old, a U.S. citizen and a qualified voter in the Scarsdale school district for at least one year prior to May 15, 2012, the date of the school board elections.
Candidates should complete a biographical information form and submit it to the SBNC Chair as soon as possible, but no later than 5:00 PM on February 27, 2012. Forms are available at Scarsdale Village Hall, the Scarsdale Library and the main offices of the seven schools. (Please click here for the BOE biographical information form. (doc))
For more information about the school board nominating process and/or to obtain a biographical information form electronically, please contact the SBNC Chair (e-mail: sbncchair@gmail.com).
To aid prospective candidates, please find below a video recording of a presentation by the current Scarsdale Board of Education covering aspects of the role of a Board member. The video recording is in 3 parts.
