Aziza Benson was re-elected president of the Lansing Central School District Board of Education in a close 4-3 vote, according to Tompkins Weekly. The decision came during the board’s July 8 reorganizational meeting and extends Benson’s leadership for another school year.
Board member Matt Bogumil was appointed vice president by the same narrow margin. Trustees also welcomed re-elected members Susan Tabrizi and Matt Hektor, who fended off a challenger in May. Several members were assigned to key committees, including curriculum and a newly formed fiscal advisory group responding to potential state funding changes.
The board also received an update on its $16.8 million capital project. Installation of turf at the district’s athletic field is underway, marking a major milestone in the voter-approved upgrade effort.
