There will be some new faces representing the Dryden Central School District community on the Board of Education moving forward. Bridget Flanigan, Justin St. Juliana and Nancy Crawford were all elected to their first terms on the board on May 18. (Flanigan and St. Juliana will have three-year terms while Crawford will have a two-year term.)
All three ran against incumbents Ron Szymanski, Joan Stock and Lawrence Lyon for the four open spots on the board. Szymanski was the lone incumbent to retain his seat. Flanigan received the most votes (606), followed by St. Juliana (599), Szymanski (595), Crawford (591), Stock (572) and Lyon (564).
Crawford
Incoming board members Flanigan and St. Juliana sat down with the Dryden Courier to discuss their victories and what they hope to achieve during their terms. (Szymanski and Crawford were unable to answer the Courierâs questions prior to the paperâs deadline.)
