Another Opportunity to Serve

One of the agenda items for Thursday's meeting of the Hudson City School District Board of Education was filling the vacant seat resulting from the resignation of Calvin Lewis. Lewis, who has served on the Board of Education since 2022, resigned in August, soon after he became director of the Hudson Youth Department.

The BOE considered piggybacking an election to fill the vacant board seat with the vote on selling the vacant John L. Edwards school building to Pennrose, a vote that is expected to happen in late October, but it was concluded they could not "pair the two in a timely fashion," so a new school board member will be appointed by the board. Anyone wishing to be considered for the vacant board seat should submit a letter of interest to BOE chair Leslie Coons at hcsdboardclerk@hudsoncsd.org. Those expressing interest will be interviewed by the board. No timeline for the process has yet been made public, but anyone interested in being considered for the vacant board seat should probably submit a letter of interest as soon as possible.

    I threw my hat in the ring a couple weeks ago, figuring that my five years of board experience, my son's 12 years of attendance at HCSD schools, and 25 years of education journalism experience might help set this wonderfully well-endowed district ($35k per kid!) on the right path to the academic excellence that the kids deserve. --peter meyer
