Elections
2015
Three of the nine at-large seats on the Wappingers 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. Voters could vote for all three seats in this election on a joint ballot. The three candidates who received the most votes were elected to the board.
The seats held by incumbents Ved Shravah, Robert Rubin and Douglass Bitteker were on the ballot. Bitteker did not file to run for re-election, ensuring at least one newcomer would join the board. Shravah and Rubin faced four challengers—Deborah Torres Henning, Karen Mauhs Karath, Anne LaValle and Babu Munusamy—in their bids for re-election.
Ultimately, Rubin retained his seat while Shravah was defeated. Returning candidate LaValle and newcomer Karath won the other two seats up for election.
