Three Vie For Two Seats On Blind Brook School Board

RYE BROOK, NY - Blind Brook School Board incumbent Jeffrey Diamond is facing off against two challengers in a race for two seats. The challengers are Jen Schlactus and Steven M. Kaplan, according to the district clerk's office. Fellow incumbent Wendy Adler is not running again.

Diamond also serves as the board's president.

The top two vote getters will be declared the winners. The seats, which are each for three-year terms, will run from July 1 to June 30, 2020.

Video of a candidates forum, which was held earlier this week, can be viewed here.

Voting will take place on Tuesday, May 16 from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. The polling place will be in the old gym at Bruno M. Ponterio Ridge Street School, which is located at 390 N. Ridge St. in Rye Brook.

CORRECTION: A previous version of this article incorrectly categorized Steven M. Kaplan as a newcomer to running for the board of education. Kaplan previously served for six years on the board, including three consecutive years as president. Patch regrets the error.
