School Board Candidate Withdraws Name

Paul Borowski has taken himself out of the running for a seat on the Hauppauge Board of Education.

In an email to friends and community members Monday, Borowski said that he called the district clerk that morning to withdraw his name for candidacy.

"I have decided to withdraw my candidacy from the race for Hauppauge Board of Education, due to personal reasons. Thank you for your support in my candidacy," he wrote.

Residents of the Hauppauge School District will elect three individuals to the Board of Education on May 21.

Hauppauge residents will elect three candidates to the trustee position during the school budget vote on May 21.

Two school board members are up for re-election including current President Geri Richter and trustee Ginger Todaro. Current trustee Robert Schnebel will not be running for next year's board and therefore, his seat will be open as well.

The candidates include:

• Geri Richter
  
• Ginger Todaro
  
• David Barshay
• Gary Fortmeyer
  
• Rob J. Scarito
