School Board Recognition - October 2025

This is a time to promote awareness and understanding of the important work performed by local school boards. Public schools form the bedrock of our communities and our country. Democracy thrives with educated citizens capable of critical thinking and civil discourse. And it is our local school boards who are ultimately responsible for student success.

It takes strong schools to build a strong community, and these volunteers devote countless hours to making sure our schools are helping every child learn; they make the tough decisions and spend many hours studying education issues and regulations in order to provide the kind of leadership our community expects.

School board members give the Blind Brook community a voice in education decision-making. Even though we make a special effort to show our appreciation in October, their contribution is a year-round commitment.

The members serving our district are as follows:

Jeffrey Mensch, President

Correy Stephenson, Vice President

Danny Fung, Member

Katherine Hallissy Ayala, Member

Samantha Smith, Member

Please give special recognition to our new Student Ex-Officio Board Members:

Simon Riley, Senior

Iris Chen, Junior
