The Croton-Harmon school district has now reported the provisional vote tallies for the four candidates running for the Board of Education, and the results are clear: Allison Samuels put considerable distance between herself and the other contenders.
Allison Samuels: 1062
Theo Oshiro: 919
Will Begeny: 847
Leslie Pollak: 845
There are many things that could be said about these results, and many things are already being said as we publish this Chronicle Editorial. On social media, especially the village Facebook group “The Croton Point,” some partisans of Theo Oshiro and Will Begeny are still attacking the Samuels-Pollak team on various grounds, just as some have been attacking the two ever since they first announced their candidacies earlier this spring. MORE AT School Board elections: A highly qualified candidate got the most votes. That’s a healthy sign for the community.
Leslie Pollak was critical in taking votes away from Will Begeny and Theo Oshiro. She was an integral part of this election and she will continue to appear regularly at Board of Education meetings to advocate for our children putting Croton kids first!
ReplyDeleteGrateful to both these women for stepping up. Given some of invective I have seen online at some of the sites runs by schools people, THAT takes nerve and courage!
