Elections
2015
Three of nine seats on the Middle Country Central School District Board of Education were up for general election on May 19, 2015. Board members were elected at-large by the district as a whole, but each seat on the board was elected separately. Ballotpedia assigned generic titles—Seats 7, 8 and 9—to the seats on the 2015 ballot to prevent confusion. These seat titles were arbitrary and did not reflect the status or seniority of the board members holding them.
Seats 7, 8 and 9 were held by incumbents Arlene Barresi, Karen J. Lessler and James H. Macomber, respectively. All three incumbents ran unopposed and won re-election to their seats.
