The 2025-26 school budget vote will be held on May 20, from noon to 9 p.m. in the Jr./Sr. High School Gym Lobby. At that time, district residents will also vote on two open seats on the school board. The elected board members will serve a three-year term beginning July 1, 2025.
Board members serve without pay. They attend regular evening meetings once a month, as well as special meetings and work sessions. Board members also serve on one or more board committees. Their duties are diverse, ranging from developing and adopting the annual budget to approving policy.
The information below has been supplied by the candidates. The views of candidates are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of the district. Candidate biographies are provided as a service to voters.

Were you formerly or are you a board member?
I joined the Middleburgh board in 2016 and am still an active member.
What attributes would you bring to the BOE?
I’ve lived in Middleburgh since 1989. Through teaching and Rotary, I’ve become familiar with many families and the community.
As a former teacher at Middleburgh, I’m familiar with the day-to-day routines and operations of the school/classroom. I have a deep appreciation for the hard work and planning that must be done daily. Since joining the BOE, I’ve had the opportunity to see all areas at work, and areas that need improvement.
I’d like to continue to be a voice for the community to help ensure the needs of parents, faculty/staff, and most importantly, students are represented and heard.

What attributes would you bring to the BOE?
Middleburgh Central School success affects every person living in the district. We as a community must work toward continued success of our school to ensure the graduates and the community remain a place we all have pride in. Creating and maintaining an environment where students, parents, staff, and the board all feel heard and like an integral part of the process is my leading objective.
