The voters decided to elect three candidates sponsored by unions over two proven Trustees on Tuesday, May 17th. The ramifications of the vote will be enormous to the people and students of Smithtown.
Four contracts will be decided by the new, union-backed Trustees in the coming months, and several top administrators will be hired by the Board. Superintendent Edward Ehmann will retire next spring. Mary Cahill, Assistant Superintendent for Instruction & Administration; Dr. Meryl Ain, Assistant to the Superintendent for General Administration and Planning; and District Clerk Mary Wilson are retiring this June.
The Board's actions on both the contracts and hiring will impact the SCSD for years to come. When those overseeing the running of SCSD's business are so comfortably tied to the unions working for the district, it appears that the taxpayers of Smithtown are slightly under-represented.
