Bronxville NPC Announces Candidates for Next Year's Committee
By Linda Devereux, Member, Bronxville Committee for the Non-Partisan Nomination and Election of School Trustees
May 17, 2017: The Bronxville Committee for the Non-Partisan Nomination and Election of School Trustees (NPC) announced the individuals who have applied to be placed on the ballot for election to the NPC. One representative from each of Bronxville's seven voting districts will be elected to serve a three-year term.
The candidates seeking membership on the NPC are Louise Parzick (District 16); David Brashear and Thomas Berry (District 17); Abby Hail (District 18); George Zivic (District 19); Valerie Otto (District 20); Vanessa O'Friel (District 21); and Jessica Turko (District 22).
Voting begins on May 20 and continues through June 5 via online ballot. All residents of Bronxville are eligible and encouraged to vote for the representative in their district. Details about the voting process, including brief bios and statements from each candidate, are available on the NPC website, www.bronxvillenpc.com.
Once elected, the seven new members of the NPC will join the fourteen remaining members. Together, the people who serve on the NPC work to recruit, vet, and nominate the school board trustee candidates each year.
The NPC was formed in 1936 to foster the election of trustees of 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 trustee and nominates a slate of candidates to run in the school district election each May.
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.
