Jericho Board casts votes for three Nassau BOCES board candidates
Summary
At a special meeting, the Jericho Board of Education cast its votes for three Nassau BOCES board candidates — Deborah Ann Coates, Lawrence Greenstein and Doug Pasquerella — recording a 3-0 tally after a brief discussion of qualifications and debate performance.
The Chair of the Jericho Board of Education said the board would cast its votes for members of the Nassau BOCES board of education, naming four candidates and noting there were three open seats. "To be resolved, the Jericho Board of Education cast its vote for the following candidates for members of the BOCES board of education," the Chair said as the candidates were read aloud.
Board members discussed the candidates' experience and performance at a recent debate. The Chair noted that incumbents Deborah Ann Coates and Lawrence Greenstein had done "a good job" despite past billing disputes with BOCES, and said that having attended the debate he believed Doug Pasquerella was the stronger prepared candidate for the third seat; he described Janine Diaz Desito as an accomplished first-time candidate and a lawyer. The Chair then announced the board voted in favor of Deborah Ann Coates, Lawrence Greenstein and Douglas Pasquerella, with the tally reported as 3 in favor, 0 opposed.
