Hendrick Hudson candidates outline priorities ahead of May 20 school board election
Summary
Four candidates are competing for three three-year seats on the Hendrick Hudson Central School District board; forum moderators and the PTA outlined logistics and rules as candidates discussed continuity, student-first priorities and governance roles.
Four candidates facing voters next week told a district forum they would prioritize student supports, fiscal stability and continuity in leadership. The school board election will be held Tuesday, May 20, 2025; polling will be at Frank G. Lindsey Elementary School, 57 Trolley Road in Montrose, and voting hours are 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., the forum host said. Information about absentee and early ballots is on the district website, henhudschools.org.
The forum was organized by the PennHud PTA Advocacy Committee and moderated by Hendrick Hudson High School students Haley Morris and Braden Mulligan. Janine Eichenholtz, co‑chair of the PTA advocacy committee, said the committee received 112 questions from 18 individuals and followed League of Women Voters guidance to select and rotate questions.
Candidates Alexis Bernard, Lisonbee Hubin, Erica Mills and Jeremy Basso each gave opening statements and responded to questions on finance, curriculum, facilities and student supports. Bernard described prior service on the board, saying she helped lead “a roughly $30,000,000 capital project” during her earlier term. Incumbents emphasized continuity: Jeremy Basso urged voters to choose steadiness, saying “continuity and consistency are crucial to maintain the course we have set,” and Erica Mills framed her re‑election bid around ongoing initiatives and policy work.
The forum rules barred audience questions and personal recordings; the district will post the official recording on its YouTube channel, moderators said. Voters may view candidate contact information at the venue and were reminded to vote on May 20.
