Elections
2015
Four of the nine at-large seats on the North Syracuse Central School District Board of Education were up for general election on May 19, 2015. The election shared the ballot with the school district's annual budget vote.
Three full-term seats held by incumbents Robert Crabtree, Michael Donofrio and George Harrington were on the ballot. A fourth, one-year term seat was also on the ballot due to the death of a board member.
Crabtree did not file for re-election, ensuring at least two newcomers would join the board. Donofrio and Harrington faced three challengers, Paul Farfaglia, Michael Leone and Michael Shusda, in their bids for re-election. The three candidates who received the most votes in the election were elected to three-year terms, and the candidate with the fourth-most votes was elected to a one-year term.
Incumbent Donofrio lost his seat on the board. The top three vote recipients, incumbent Harrington, Farfaglia and Leone, won three-year terms, while fourth place finisher Shusda won the special one-year term.
