After Judge Steps In, East Ramapo School Board Election Gives Greater Voice To Black and Brown Parents
arrow
East Ramapo’s first school board election after a federal judge found the district violated the federal Voting Rights Act didn’t change the balance of power on a body sharply divided by race and religion. But public school parents believe the new election system gave them a stronger voice on an unusual board, where most members are strictly Orthodox Jews who rely on private schools. The public school parents are now pushing the state for additional actions.
“I’m hoping that it brings a sense of pride and representation,” said Ashley Leveille, a Black public school parent who was re-elected this week.

With the ERCSD (East Ramapo Central School District) board elections underway, the NYWFP (New York Working Families Party) has announced its endorsement of five community activists and public school parents.
“It’s high time East Ramapo students have community-rooted champions like these five women on the school board,” said NYWFP State Director Sochie Nnaemeka.
The special election, scheduled for Feb. 2, was called for in response to the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that the district’s voting at-large system violated the Voting Rights Act. The court ordered that the elections now operate on a ward system where in the town is divided into election districts, with each district or “ward” nominating and voting on their own candidates.
