SBNC Calls for Candidates

Help maintain our excellent Scarsdale schools and become a candidate for the Scarsdale School Board Nominating Committee this year. The School Board Nominating Committee (SBNC) is a group that identifies, proposes and nominates qualified candidates to run for the Scarsdale Board of Education. The SBNC includes 30 voting members representing each of the five elementary school neighborhoods. Each year ten new members are elected to serve a three-year term on the SBNC.

"Candidates for the SBNC have a unique opportunity to serve as representatives for the community and, if elected, to help identify the very best candidates for trustees for our schools," said Lisa Rodman, spokesperson for the SBNC Administrative Committee, the group that organizes the election for SBNC candidates. "The non-partisan system works best with a full slate of candidates -- at least two candidates for each open seat, for a total this year of 20 candidates for the 10 open seats. We urge all of our neighbors to consider making this very important contribution to our non-partisan system and to our schools by seeking election to the SBNC."

To become a candidate, complete a biographical form and submit it, with a candidate petition with ten signatures, by November 20, 2012 to the SBNC Administrative Committee, P.O. Box 172H, Scarsdale, NY 10583. These forms can be downloaded from www.scarsdalesbnc.com and are also available at the Scarsdale Library and Village Hall.

If you are interested in becoming a candidate or have questions, go to the SBNC's website at www.scarsdalesbnc.com . Also, feel free to contact the SBNC Administrative Committee Co- chairs: Josh Glantz at [email protected] or Wayne Aaron at [email protected].

Service on the SBNC is a truly great way to serve your community. Please become a candidate.
