Elections
2015
Two of the seven at-large seats on the Shenendehowa Central School District Board of Education were up for general election on May 19, 2015. Because the election was held at-large, every qualified voter in the school district was able to vote for both seats. The two candidates who received the most votes in the election were elected to the board.
The seats held by incumbents Janet Grey and Robert Pressly were on the ballot. Grey did not file for re-election, leaving Pressly to run against three challengers: Samuel H. Hazleton V, Christina Rajotte and Kerensa Rybak. Pressley retained his seat and Rajotte won her first term.
