Elections
2015
Three of the nine at-large seats on the Sachem Central School District Board of Education were up for general election on May 19, 2015. Prior to the 2015 election, seats were elected by the voters at-large, but candidates ran for a specific seat. In 2015, the elections switched to be fully at-large. This meant that the three seats were on a joint ballot. Voters could vote for up to three candidates in the race, and the three highest vote recipients were elected to the board.
The seats held by incumbents Douglas Duncan Jr., Michael J. Isernia and Robert Scavo were on the ballot. Duncan did not file to run for re-election, leaving Isernia and Scavo to run against three challengers: Kelli Burnham, William A. Coggin and Laura Slattery.
Isernia was defeated in the general election while Scavo retained his seat. Returning candidate Coggin and newcomer Slattery won the other two seats up for election.
