Shenendehowa board announces uncontested May election and one trustee will not seek re‑election
Summary
The board announced three candidates for the May 20 election — two incumbents and one newcomer — and a sitting trustee said they will not run for re‑election.
SHENENDEHOWA — Board members used the study session to note upcoming school board races and a member’s decision not to run again.
A board member identified as John announced he will not seek re‑election after one term, saying the decision was a family choice and that he remains proud of recent district work. Board President Petra Polden and Deanna Stevenson were listed on the ballot as incumbents running for re‑election; the board also introduced newcomer Andrew Gallo as a candidate who has served as president of the varsity football booster club and has two sons in the high school.
Why it matters: the May 20 school election will determine trustee seats; administrators said the contest for three seats is uncontested this year with two incumbents and one newcomer on the ballot.
Ending: Trustees thanked the departing member for service and welcomed the newcomer; the superintendent and board encouraged community participation on election day and at upcoming events.
