New Hyde Park-Garden City Park Board of Education Trustees Danielle Fagan and Binu Jacob are running for re-election this May in a race without any challengers.

Both Fagan and Jacob were elected to the board in 2021 after running in an uncontested race. They both filled the seats left by former trustees Jennifer DeRocchis and David Del Santo, who opted not to run again.

Now Fagan and Jacob will run again unchallenged to fulfill another round of three-year terms. This would their second terms for both.

Nobody else filed petitions to run for the trustee seats, but individuals can be elected via write-in votes on the day of the election.

The new term would begin on July 1 and continue to June 30, 2027.

Efforts to solicit comment from Fagan and Jacob were unavailing.

The election will be held from 6 a.m. until 9 p.m. on May 21 at Michael J. Tully Park, located at 1801 Evergreen Avenue in New Hyde Park.

Community members will also be able to vote on the New Hyde Park-Garden City Park budget of $48,101,950 with a 2.88% for the 2024-2025 school year on Election Day. This budget is a 2.34% increase from the school district’s current budget of $46,999,885.

Also on the ballot is the Sewanhaka School District budget of $255,707,308, which includes a 2.47% tax levy increase that falls within the allowable tax levy cap. The proposed budget is increasing by 4.5% from the district’s current budget of $244,691,452.
