The Board of Education of the Voorheesville Central School District is seeking candidates to fill their vacant School Board seat.
If you are a district resident interested in public education, the School Board invites you to submit a letter to be considered for appointment to the seven-member board. Previous board experience is preferred. The deadline is Friday, September 2, 2022.
The individual appointed to the position will serve until the next election in May 2023. At that time, the position would be on the ballot to fill the two years remaining in the term, along with the one other board seat up for a four-year term.
Board members serve without pay. They attend regular evening meetings once a month, as well as special meetings and work sessions. They will also serve on one or more Board Committees. Their duties are diverse, ranging from developing and adopting the annual budget to approving policy. Board hopefuls must be:
- U.S. citizen
- Age 18 or older
- Able to read and write
- Legal resident of the district for at least one year
A board member cannot be an employee of the district or simultaneously hold another incompatible public office. They cannot live in the same household with a family member who is also on the board. The board hopes to have a new member in place within the next 60 days.
Letters of interest and qualifications should be submitted by 3:30 pm on Friday, September 2, 2022 to the District Clerk; Jessica Tabakian, 432 New Salem Road Voorheesville, NY 12186 or to jtabakian@voorheesville.org.
