There are three candidates running for three positions in this year's Syosset school board elections, two of which are incumbents. Each term last three years, and all candidates are running unopposed.
Voting takes place Tuesday from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. at
Dr. Michael Cohen - Cohen has four children attending schools in the district and is seeking re-election to his third term on the school board.
April M. Neuendorf, Vice President - Neuendorf, 50, is a Woodbury resident and is also seeking re-election to her third term.
Laura Schlesinger - Schlesinger, 46, is the only newcomer. Schlesinger, a Syosset resident, is Co-President on the chair.
*Neuendorf declined a request for an interview; Cohen and Schlesinger could not be reached.
Is this one of the riveting articles we were staying tuned for? Its election eve. So far all we have gotten is Hankin's propaganda reiterated to us through the Patch articles. Are we going to get any effort to question her about the information contradicting her at all? Its pretty late in the game.
A major reason why no new candidates are running is because the school board does not make it known the rules on having new members run. I plan to meet with the school board and Suptd and obtain a copy of the rules and regualtions that the BOE of NYS states must be made available to a resident that requests such information.
