The School Board Nominating Committee is a non-partisan organization made up of 6 residents from each of the 5 elementary school neighborhoods. The SBNC meets each year to review and propose candidates for the Scarsdale School Board election. The Joint Committee of the SBNC is made up of residents who have already served three years on the SBNC in addition to representatives from various community organizations. The Joint Committee's focus is on running the annual election that ultimately creates the SBNC.
