SBNC Election Results Are In

The results of the Scarsdale School Board Nominating Committee January 16 election are in. Due to snowy weather, 279 voters turned out to elect the following nominators to serve three -year terms on the School Board Nominating Committee. 61 mail-in ballots were also received, bringing the total vote to 340.

Edgewood:
Jeannine Palermo and Carolyn Stevens

Fox Meadow:
Deb Morel and John Spiro

Greenacres:
Perry Braun and Kevin Higgins

Heathcote:
Michael Blumstein and Daniel Goldman

Quaker Ridge:
Ronny Hersch and Alison Singer

The weather was blamed for the low voter turnout which was down significantly from 528 votes in 2012 and 381 in 2011.

Many changes to the Non-Partisan Resolution were also proposed and they all passed. The complete list can be viewed on the SBNC website, but here is a summary of the more significant changes:

1) No campaigning within 25 feet of the polling place
2) Mail-in ballots can be received up to 4 pm on election day
3) Allow SBNC Administrative Committee records to be available at the Scarsdale Library, Village Hall and on the SBNC website
4) Clarification of confidentiality obligations when performing due diligence and background checks.
