By Steven Kraemer, President-elect, Committee for the Non-Partisan Nomination and Election of School Trustees
Jun. 10, 2015: From May 11 through June 1, online elections were held to fill open seats on Bronxville's Committee for the Non-Partisan Nomination and Election of School Trustees (NPC).
One new member in each election district was elected to serve a three-year term beginning July 1, 2015. In addition, in election districts 19, 21, and 22, one new member was elected to fill a vacancy because of a member's early retirement.
On June 2, Marylou Green, the president of The League of Women Voters of Westchester County, observed the election results. The following individuals were elected:
District 16: Katie Shah
District 17: Tania Neild
District 18: Gillian Mueller Goddard
District 19: Berit Block
District 19: Michael Meyers
District 20: Cathy Flanagan
District 21: Niamh Hartnett Merluccio
District 21: Charlotte Rizzo
District 22: Donald Bringle
District 22: Jim King
"The NPC appreciates all the individuals who were elected and welcomes these new members," said Jennifer Mackesy, NPC chair. "We also thank the Bronxville residents who participated in this important election. In addition, we thank the following retiring NPC members for their service to the Bronxville community: Romy Coquillette, Jane Moynihan, Sheila Stoltz, Richard Thomas, Craig Unis, Joseph Villanueva, Elizabeth Vranka, Tracy Walsh, and Amy Wiser."
The NPC also announced the following officers for next year: Steve Kraemer, chair; Jennifer Lescott, vice chair; Tara Saridakis, secretary; and Jim Fowler, treasurer.
The Committee for the Non-Partisan Nomination and Election of School Trustees was formed in 1936 for the purpose of electing trustees to The Bronxville School on a non-partisan basis. The NPC, which consists of three elected representatives from each of Bronxville's seven election districts, solicits qualified residents who are interested in serving as school board trustees and nominates a slate of candidates to run in the school district election in May.
Additional information on the NPC, including a list of all of its members, is available on the NPC website at www.bronxvillenpc.com.
Government & History Directory
Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.
While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.
Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.
The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
