Edgemont SBNC Seeks Nominations

The School Board Nominating Committee (the "SBNC") will hold an open meeting on Wednesday, January 22, 2014 (snow date - January 23) at 8:00 pm in the Greenville School library to receive nominations for candidates to the Board of Education. Two vacancies will be filled at the general election on Tuesday, May 20, 2014, created by the expiration of the second term of office for board president Michaeline Curtis and first term of office for Anish Nanavaty. Anish Nanavaty will run for a second term. Michaeline Curtis will not seek a third term.

The SBNC invites all Edgemont residents to actively participate in the nominating process by urging qualified residents of our community to seek nomination to the Board of Education, submit nomination letters for candidates, and attend the open meeting.

Nominations must be made in a letter addressed as set forth below and must be received before 8:00 pm on January 22, 2014. Nominating letters may also be presented in person at the open meeting held that evening. The letter may be written by any qualified voter of the Edgemont School District other than a member (or spouse of a member) of the SBNC. In addition to the name and address of the candidate, the letter must contain a brief biographical sketch of the candidate, including the candidate's educational background, occupation, participation in civic affairs and the length of residence in the Edgemont School District, and the grade level of any children attending any Edgemont schools and/or the year of graduation of any children who have previously attended Edgemont schools.
