Each year, three terms expire on the Monroe-Woodbury Central School District Board of Education, creating three available positions. Three members will be elected for a term of three years beginning on July 1, 2024, and ending on June 30, 2027.
Members of the Board of Education (BoE) will attend upcoming PTA meetings throughout the District (see schedule below) to share information, answer questions and encourage community members to run for a seat on the BoE. Serving as a BoE Trustee is an act of service to the families and children of this great community.
For those who are unable to attend a meeting, please visit the Board of Education webpage on the District website for more information about the important role the BoE plays in the District and the community as a whole.
Attached is a schedule of upcoming meetings. Individuals are welcome to attend any of the meetings, regardless of where their child attends school. Note: Some meetings will be held virtually. Please check with the school’s PTA. Hope to see you there!
