The role of school board members has changed dramatically from the inception of public education in New York. Gone are the days when a school board member chopped the wood to heat a one-room schoolhouse or solicited room and board for a newly hired teacher. What has not changed is the abiding commitment of school board members to our children and their education.

As your roles as board members become evermore complex and time-consuming, the county association must change and grow to meet your needs. The executive committee and I hope that this website helps in connecting you to each other and the information you need to be effective board members.

In my role as Executive Director it is my privilege to work with some of the most dedicated volunteers in world of elected officials. The job may have changed drastically but the paycheck still reads zero. I thank you for efforts on behalf of our children and wish you the reward of knowing that your actions help shape our future.

Please contact us at anytime for support.

Lynne Cruger, Executive Director
