Incumbents return as budgets pass

Mineola, North Shore districts welcome new faces to school board BY R O S E WELDON AND ROBERT PELAEZ Five school districts serving the Roslyn area passed their 2021-22 budgets on Tuesday, with two welcoming new faces to their school boards and three seeing incumbents return. ROSLYN In an election for three seats on the Roslyn Board of Education, incumbent Trustees David Seinfeld, David Dubner and Michael Levine won re-election, besting challenger Ronald Gerber. Levine received 702 votes, while Dubner received 692, Seinfeld received 679 and Gerber received 419. Seinfeld, one of the board’s longest-serving trustees and a veteran in educational services, was first elected in 2006. Dubner, an investment banker at Goldman Sachs, was appointed to the Board of Education in 2013 following
the resignation of Dani Kline and was elected to fill the remainder of her term, and has since been re-elected once. Levine, a lawyer, was elected in 2018 after former Trustee Adam Haber chose not to run for another term. Efforts to reach the incumbents and Gerber for comment were unavailing. Residents also voted to approve the district’s 2021-22 budget. The $118,663,250 plan, which has a 2.89 percent spending increase from the current year and comes with a 1.98 percent tax levy, passed with 855 yes votes and 249 no votes. Also passed were Proposition 2, the 2021-22 budget for the Bryant Library in the amount of $5,095,669, and Proposition 3, authorizing the district to spend $463,282.66 for various school buses and vans, continuing the district’s ongoing program of replacing the oldest vehicles in the fleet.
