Newly elected member sworn in as Eden Central accepts election and budget results
Summary
The Eden Central School District board administered the oath to a newly elected member, confirmed election results that elected Kayla Cenicki and reelected Cheryl Carpenter, and accepted the district budget and related propositions on May 20, 2026.
A newly elected board member recited the oath of office at the start of the May 20 board meeting, pledging to support the U.S. and New York state constitutions and to "faithfully discharge the duties of the office." The administration moved the oath after an announcement the district was prepared to administer oaths to new members.
Board leadership explained that Mrs. Sineke, as the highest vote-getter in the recent election, immediately assumes the seat vacated earlier this year by a resignation; Ms. Carpenter, who finished second, will take her oath at the board's reorganization meeting in July. The board then accepted formal election and budget results: Proposition 1 (annual budget) was recorded in the meeting as "454 yeses, 174 noes" and declared passed; Proposition 2 (use of capital reserve funds for bus acquisition) was recorded as "489 yes, 138 no" and declared passed. The transcript records Proposition 3's counts as "04/1959 yes, 01/1966 no"; the board recorded it as passed.
Speaker attribution: these announcements and the oath were presented by the board clerk and discussed by board members during the meeting. The board also noted the results of the trustee election: Kayla Cenicki was elected with 397 votes and Cheryl Carpenter was reelected with 369 votes.
The board will convene next on June 15, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. in the high school library; the superintendent reminded attendees there would be a reception immediately following the meeting.
