Last Chance: BOE Candidate Workshop, Town Clerk Evening Hours

Considering a run for a seat on the Harrison Board of Education? 

If so, there's an important class coming up this week that you don't want to miss.

The Westchester-Putnam School Boards Association (WPSBA) is sponsoring its annual Prospective School Board Member Workshop this Thursday evening, March 29 from 5:45 pm -9:30 pm at the Education House, 5 Homeside Lane in White Plains. 

The workshop is for anyone interested in a run for the school board now or in the future.

The program will feature a panel of current school board members and an area school superintendent discussing topics such as: roles and responsibilities, district issues and operations, board/superintendent relationships, school district budgets, and the myths and realities of board service.  Workshop participants will have the opportunity to participate in a board meeting scenario and consider typical board of education issues. 

This workshop is open to all individuals interested in running for their local school board.  It is provided as a public service of the Westchester-Putnam School Boards Association and is free for prospective board of education members from our member school districts.

Others are welcome for a $10.00 fee.  For more information, please call WPSBA at (914) 345-8737or email info@wpsba.org.  To RSVP electronically, visit the Westchester-Putnam School Boards Association website at www.wpsba.org and click on the link for Prospective School Board Member Workshop.
