At its meeting on March 13, the Edgemont School Board Nominating Committee (SBNC) recommended Josefine Teneback Cays and Ami Patel Song for election to the Edgemont school board. Both Ms. Cays and Ms. Song will be running for their first term. Current school board member Mariquita Blumberg will be stepping down after serving two complete terms on the board, and Dolya Fleck will be stepping down after serving one complete term.
The SBNC has been meeting since last fall, attending school board meetings, and gathering input from the current school board, the school administration, and the community. The SBNC process is designed to encourage qualified residents to make themselves available to serve on the school board and to implement a fair and judicious means for evaluating and recommending candidates. The nominating committee consists of residents from each of the community’s neighborhoods as well as a student representative from Edgemont High School.
The committee is grateful to all the candidates for their participation in the SBNC process and for their willingness to commit to serving the Edgemont community through membership on the school board. The SBNC will sponsor an open forum to introduce the candidates to the community. (Further details to be announced.)
