AMENIA — Two seats have opened on the Webutuck Board of Education with the departures of incumbents Nichole Reyes and Anthony Robustelli.

These seats are for a three-year term starting July 1, 2025, and will be filled via nominations and election.
 

Information packets containing nominating petitions are now available for pickup at the district offices located at Webutuck High School on Haight Road north of Amenia. Nominations are due no later than Monday, April 21, by 5 p.m. To secure a nomination, candidates must have obtained at least 25 signatures from qualified voters in the district.

To qualify for a seat on the Board, candidates must be able to read and write and be an eligible voter and a resident in the Webutuck district for at least one continuous year prior to the election.

Candidates are ineligible if they have been removed from any school district office one year prior to the election, a current employee of the district, or reside with another family member serving the same school board. To prevent conflicts of interest, candidates may not simultaneously hold another public office while serving as a board member.

Questions may be directed to school district clerk Therese Trotter at 845-373-4100, ext. 5506. Board member elections will be held on Tuesday, May 20, at the same time as the annual school budget vote.

The term for these two board seats will end on June 30, 2028.
