April 21, 2014 -- With two seats up for grabs, three residents met Monday's 5 pm deadline for submitting petitions to run as candidates in the North Shore Schools Board of Education Trustees Election to be held on Tuesday, May 20. They are Joanna Commander of Glen Head, Lara Gonzalez of Sea Cliff, and Rob Mazzella of Glen Head.  
The public will have the opportunity to learn about the candidates' backgrounds, qualifications, and positions on issues at a Meet the Candidates forum to be held at the North Shore High School on Thursday, April 24, at 8 pm. 

Incumbent School Board Trustees Amy Beyer, who has been on the Board since 2002, and Tom Knierim, who has served for three years, have chosen to not seek re-election. The board has seen considerable turnover in recent years.  When the new members are sworn in in July, only one of the seven Trustees, Board President Herman Berliner, will have been on the board for more than one term.

On May 20, in addition to the Trustees election, residents will also have the opportunity to vote on the 2014-15 school budget of $95,850,329 - a l.98% rise over 2013-14; and a tax levy of 87,886,066 - an increase of 1.5% over this year.


LETTER TO THE EDITOR

WHY I AM RUNNING FOR THE NORTH SHORE SCHOOL BOARD

Joanna Commander             April 23, 2014

To the Editor;

I’d like to take this opportunity to announce my candidacy for Trustee of the North Shore School Board of Education.  I have lived in the district for 8 years, having relocated from the south shore of Long Island.  I have embraced the peacefulness, beauty and sense of community I have experienced since my move.  It is a truly special place.  

I am running for the Board of Education because I believe my experiences, both the professional and life skills that I have cultivated over my sixty five years make me an excellent candidate to help solve the challenging issues that are before our community and school district. READ MORE
