The Valley Stream Central High School District Board of Education held its annual reorganization meeting on July 8, during which new leadership and trustees were officially sworn in for the 2025-26 school year.
Kelly Ureña, representing District 30, was nominated and sworn in as Board President, while Patricia Farrell from District 13 was sworn in as Vice President. The Board consists of nine trustees appointed by the boards of education from Valley Stream Districts 2, 4, 13, 24 and 30.
New trustees joining the Central High School District Board this year include Markus Wilson from District 24 and Sarah Sabatino from District 13. Returning trustees are John Maier and Melissa Herrera from District 24; Gerardo Cavaliere from District 13; and Kenneth Cummings and James Lavery from District 30.
For the first time, the District swore in ex officio student board members. Jaskeerat Kaur from Central High School, Sara Zafar from South High School and Abigail Mathew from North High School will serve in this capacity. These student members replace the previous student representatives and will provide input and represent the student body during Board discussions and decision-making processes.
