New candidate Rose Cunanan joins group of four candidates vying for three New Hyde Park-Garden City Ed Board seats seats
Rose-Ann Cunanan, a lifelong Garden City Park resident, PTA president, and youth development professional, is challenging longtime incumbent Jennifer Kerrane for her seat on New Hyde Park-Garden City Park elementary district’s board of education. The two make up what might be the calmest contested school board race in the area.
Cunanan, who said she had nothing but respect for the current board and wished her attempt to seek a seat wouldn’t push someone else off, and Kerrane, who said she welcomed new ideas and people on the board, couldn’t be in more polite competition with each other if they tried.
Cunanan currently works as a senior program manager for Nassau County Girl Scouts and has three kids, all of whom have graduated from New Hyde Park-Garden City Park and two of whom are currently in the district’s high schools.
If elected, she said she would work to increase communication and community understanding of the school board, engage more parents in board meetings, increase the amount of information on the district website and ensure the voices of younger or newer district parents are heard.
