At the regular Board of Education Monday evening, Michelle Schoenfeld, Clerk to the Board said that," in a letter to the District Clerk, Mr. Bernstein said his decision was based on time contraints in connection with his job as well as family responsibilities. The resignation takes effect immediately."
Dorothy Schere, newly elected President of the Board of Education, said there were three avenues for dealing the vacant position. She said the Board could leave the position vacant until the next School Board election, they could hold a new election, or appoint some one to serve until May 20, 2003, when the 2003 School Board election would be held.
Schere said it was the Board's unanimous decision to appoint a member of the community to complete the term.
Public invited to apply for appointment to seat by July 15
Ms. Schere invited anyone who wishes to be appointed to Mr. Bernstein's seat to send a letter to Michelle Schoenfeld, Clerk to the Board of Education, stating their qualifications or resume by July 15. Schere said the Board would review applications and "begin interviews in late July.
Schere thanked Mr. Bernstein for his time taken to serve on the Board.
The departure of Bernstein leaves a vacant position on the 7-member Board, paving the way for a possible return to the School Board of recently deposed 18-year Board member, Larry Geiger, should he so desire and the Board of Education appoint him, or Stephen Sules, the other Board member defeated in the May 2002 School Board elections. Even Dr. Saul Yanofsky could apply.
Mr. Geiger, Mr. Sules, Dr. Yanofsky, or any other resident of White Plains, wishing to serve should send their letter/resume to Ms. Schoenfeld, Clerk of the Board, 5 Homeside Lane, White Plains, New York 10605 by July 15.
