Goeman Confirms: Not Running for School Board

An earlier blog post referring to campaign-trail scuttlebutt that a couple of our incumbent school board members may be looking to run again and keep their seats. One of those incumbents, Rod Goeman, e-mails me and states quite clearly that he is not seeking another term on the Madison Central School Board. Says this avowedly outgoing board member:

My current school board term expires in July and I will not seek another term. The opportunity to work with so many wonderful people and represent our District is a fantastic learning experience and I encourage others to serve. It is very gratifying to see the growth and accomplishments that are taking place every day in our schools. I am proud to have been part of that the past 11 years [Rod Goeman, personal communication, 2008.02.28].

There you have it! Goeman is definitely not running. The other 5700 of you eligible candidates in the District have until tomorrow 5 p.m. to make your decision. :-)
