SBNC Seeks Candidates for School Board

The School Board Nominating Committee (SBNC) is seeking to identify potential candidates to serve on the Scarsdale Board of Education. The SBNC held its first meeting of the 2022 season on January 23th and is now engaged in active outreach to build a robust candidate pool.

Over the next several weeks, SBNC members will recruit and review candidates in order to nominate three candidates for the nonpartisan slate in the next school board election. The school board election and budget vote are slated for Tuesday, May 17, 2022. All three of the school board members who will complete three-year terms this year are eligible for renomination. They are Karen Ceske, Carl Finger and Ron Schulhof.

The SBNC invites all Scarsdale School District residents to propose names of qualified individuals to serve on the Scarsdale Board of Education by email to [email protected]. A candidate must be at least 18 years old, a U.S. citizen, a qualified voter, and a resident of the Scarsdale School District for at least one year prior to the May 18th school board election date. Seema Jaggi, SBNC Co-Chair, stated: “The non-partisan SBNC process continues to enable a wide-range of Scarsdale citizens to be considered for nomination to the Board of Education. We welcome service-minded residents to step forward to help shape educational policies that support the children of our community.”

Interested candidates should complete a biographical information form and submit it via email to [email protected] as soon as possible, but no later than 11:59pm on Friday, February 18, 2022.
