Latest news: Stakeholders win one seat Stakeholders candidate Jaonne Thompson was the only person to turn in petitions for her seat, and will remain on the board. She will continue to campaign hard with the team towards victory on May 17. Board President Resigns The president of the East Ramapo School Board has resigned from the board. He is being charged by the federal government with abuse of authority in his position with the Monsey Fire Dept. Vice-president not seeking re-election? The vice-president did not hand in petitions for re-election to the board. This would seem to indicate that he is not running for the seat again.  However, another candidate mysteriously handed in petitions and withdrew them the next day, thus openeing up an arcane loophole in the law which may allow late petitions to be handed in. This has disrupted the ballot printing process and may disenfranchise some voters who need absentee ballots early.  What possible motive could there be? These kind of manipulations have no place in a school board, It is embarrassing to think that any candidate who would resort to these kinds of manipulations could get any votes at all.
