Two people filed today to fill the seat of Barry Iann, the Board of Education President who recently resigned.
Chanina Nakdimen and Moshe Tendler filed for the seat.
Nakdimen also ran for the seat vacated by Weinberger, but the Board chose Treiser instead.
Iann resigned earlier this month, and stated, “I sought to resign from the School Board last month. You asked me then to stay on and I agreed. An effective leader is able to unite a Board on key issues. It is clear to me that although you asked me to stay on, I cannot achieve such unity. I therefore tender my resignation from the Board.” He added, “I am personally appreciative of your confidence in having chosen me as President, in asking me to stay on, and for sharing deep concern for the children of our District. I know that this will be your sole concern as you carefully choose a superintendent, and as you retain Board Counsel, seeking professional leaders who are able to help the district overcome its significant funding and operating challenges.”
Iann won the Board of Education seat as a write-in in 2015, and was recently reelected.
Whoever is chosen for the seat will remain on the Board until the remainder of Iann’s term, which is 2019.
Hard to get qualified, intelligent people to volunteer their time to this seemingly hopeless cause. Two, even exceptional people, cannot make a difference in a system that is broken. You just get dragged down into the mess.
