WPCNR SCHOOL DAYS. By John F. Bailey July 19, 2002. 1:30 PM E.D.T.: The Board of Education today announced that longtime White Plains attorney, Peter Bassano, has been appointed to complete the term of resigned Board member, Richard Bernstein.
Mr. Bassano is employed by the White Plains law firm of Bleakley, Platt & Schmidt. He has been a resident of White Plains for fourteen years and has two children in the White Plains public schools.
Bassano was previously a registered nurse in psychology, and has served on the White Plains Little League Board of Directors, as Safety Director and is very much involved in educational issues.
Board Confident says Schere.
Dorothy S. Schere, Board President, said, “The Board was pleased that five qualified candidates asked to be interviewed for the vacant seat. It’s a very positive indication of the broad interest in the success of our public schools and commitment to public education.” She added, “The Board is confident that Mr. Bassano will make a valuable contribution to the district in the coming year.”
Tratoros impressed.
Bassano was described by Board of Education member, Michelle Tratoros, as bringing excellent negotiating skills to the Board, one of the qualities that impressed her and other Board members.
Ms. Tratoros described him as "a person who will work very well with the Board," and "very capable."
Mr. Bassano, according to Ms. Tratoros, was selected from a group of five persons who applied for Mr. Bernstein's vacant seat. She said he is very familiar with district affairs, having served on the Annual Budget Committee. He will serve until school board elections next May 20, when the seat will be up for election.
