Looking to help the community? The Edgemont Community Council (ECC) encourages all residents, whether or not they have children in the schools, to consider volunteering for the School Board Nominating Committee (SBNC) or to submit names of residents they would like to suggest for membership.

About the SBNC For nearly nine decades, the SBNC has been charged with encouraging qualified residents to serve on the Edgemont School Board, and with implementing a fair and judicious means for evaluating and recommending candidates.

Work of the SBNC The SBNC (which is sponsored by the ECC) solicits qualified residents for the Edgemont School Board, interviews nominees, and recommends candidates. The SBNC consists of three voting members from each of Edgemont’s eight neighborhoods, as well as one student representative from Edgemont High School. The work of the SBNC begins each year in autumn and runs through the nominee interviews and Candidate Forum in the spring. SBNC members also must attend at least three school board meetings.

Qualifications to Serve To serve on the SBNC, residents must:

Be a resident of the school district for at least three years at the date of their election to the SBNC.

Not be the spouse, parent, sibling, child, sibling of a parent, or child of a sibling of a current member of the Edgemont School Board.

Not be the spouse, parent, sibling, child, sibling of a parent, or child of a sibling of a current member of the SBNC.

Not have served on the SBNC within the last three years.

Election Process The ECC Nominating Committee is responsible for compiling a list of Edgemont residents from which the voters of the Edgemont School District shall elect members of the SBNC. The SBNC Election shall be held on the same day as the School Budget vote, typically the third Tuesday in May. If there are an equal number of nominees as there are SBNC vacancies for any neighborhood, the nominees shall be deemed elected by unanimous consent and no election shall be required for that neighborhood.

Whom to Contact To express interest in serving on the SBNC, contact the ECC Nominating Committee by Tuesday, March 3, 2026 at NomCom@EdgemontECC.org. Include your address to determine which neighborhood you would represent on the SBNC if elected. Residents are also encouraged to recommend other residents the ECC Nominating Committee should contact regarding SBNC service.
