The Dryden Central School District held a virtual public forum to introduce the board of education candidates for the upcoming election on May 3. All six candidates were given an opportunity to answer 10 questions curated by the district staff as well as district families.
There are four seats up for grabs in this yearâs election â three of which are three-year terms and the other just a two-year term. Incumbents Lawrence Lyon, Ron Szymanski and Joan Stock look to retain their seats on the board, while newcomers Bridget Flanigan, Nancy Crawford and Justin St. Juliana vy for a first term.
Many of the questions asked at the forum centered on politics and diversity in the districtâs education system. The candidates were asked whether or not they believed students should be educated on politics in their classrooms, to which all six agreed that politics should have its place in the curriculum.
