NEW ROCHELLE, NY (October 14, 2025) — The City School District of New Rochelle has thanked its Board of Education for their time and dedication to students during School Board Recognition Week.
The board members honored include President Will Ianuzzi, Vice Presidents Makeda Lewis and Roshanie Ross, and Trustees Don Vega, Valarie D. Williams, Elena Jacob and Jessica Klein.
School Board Recognition Week, an annual program sponsored by the New York State School Boards Association (NYSSBA), highlights the efforts of volunteer school board members dedicated to New York public school children.
Observed from October 13 to 17, 2025, the week originated as a focused period to ensure school board members receive thanks for their service, though recognition is encouraged year-round. NYSSBA aims to raise community awareness and understanding about the crucial role school board members play within a school district, increase appreciation for their hard work and commitment to ensuring all students succeed, and recognize their dedication.
A fact sheet on New York’s school board members is available, along with a forthcoming Governor’s Proclamation.
