Winners Thank Supporters and Retiring Incumbent
Davidson said she is humbled by the support she received and looking forward to joining the board of education. “I want to thank everyone who knocked doors, sent postcards, made phone calls and believed along with me that every child in this district, regardless of zip code or learning need, deserves the very best education we can provide,” said Davidson. “When our children succeed, we succeed–and together, we are going to make a difference for Nyack and Valley Cottage families,” she said.
“I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to serve on the Nyack School Board for another three years,” said Marraccino. “We have a great school district and community and I’m happy to be able to continue working with parents, teachers and students to provide meaningful opportunities for all of our kids. Thank you so much to everyone who supported me! Also, a big thank you to Leeann Irvin who served six years on the school board, putting in lots of time and energy to serve our kids.”
