7 Vie for 4 Seats on Sag Harbor School Board
Chris Tice, Edward Drohan, Susan Kinsella, Thomas Re, Daniel Hartnett, Jonathan Glynn and David Diskin step forward.
There are a total of four seats on the Sag Harbor School Board up for grabs in the upcoming election — two for full terms and two opportunities to finish the unexpired terms of former members who stepped down.
Seven candidates have come forward, including incumbents Chris Tice, Edward Drohan and Susan Kinsella. The four newcomers are Thomas Re, Daniel Hartnett, Jonathan Glynn and David Diskin.
There are currently only six seats filled on the seven-member board, since Gregg Schiavoni resigned in March.
Former member Walter Wilcoxen resigned in July 2012 shortly after winning re-election, and Kinsella was appointed to take his place until the 2013 election.
Kinsella is now seeking her first full term.
Re, an attorney with a law office in Sag Harbor Village, had also screened to fill Wilcoxen's seat and now decided to run for election. He is a member of the district's long range financial planning committee.
Hartnett, a clinical social worker; Jonathan Glynn, an artist; and David Diskin, a member of the district's audit committee, also decided to through their hats into the ring.
The two top-vote getters will receive full three-years terms beginning July 1. The candidates who finished in second and third place will be sworn in immediately after the election and their terms will expire June 30, 2015.
The election and budget vote are May 21.
