The Citizens Nominating Committee (CNC) has completed its interviews for the upcoming Board of Education (BOE) elections.

For the first time in a number of years the CNC did not have to consider a candidate running for a third term. The CNC’s by-laws state that only under special circumstances should a candidate be considered for a third term.

The qualifications that the CNC considers in a candidate for BOE include:

  1. Knowledge of current local community issues as they affect the Pelham public education system.
  2. General interest in education and a belief in the public school system.
  3. Ability and willingness to execute faithfully the duties of a member of the Board of Education.

The findings of the CNC do not constitute an endorsement of any candidate or candidates; rather it is the judgment of the committee members that the candidates meet the above qualifications.
