Letter from Jenny Lukovsky

Your Support Is Needed

I appreciate the opportunity to introduce myself to you and the community. My name is Jenny Lukovsky and I am asking for your write-in vote when the Cooperstown Central School holds elections for two vacant school board seats on May 20.

While changes in education have been in the news with increasing frequency, I am encouraged by the way our community members have consistently supported our school and children for generations. I believe it is more important than ever that we show up and do our civic duty to listen, learn, and advocate for our local school children.

My family and I moved here in 2016 to live in the beautiful community of Cooperstown. We wanted to be closer to our extended family, as well as have our kids grow up in Cooperstown and attend Cooperstown Central School.

I worked as a professor at SUNY Delhi in their Veterinary Science Tech-nology Program for eight years. This experience in higher education included two years as program director of my department.

I am currently the director of veterinary services at the Susquehanna Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. My husband is a nurse practitioner at Bassett Medical Center and we have two children at Cooperstown Central School.

When it was brought to my attention by members of our local NYSUT, the Teachers Union, that there were two empty board seats and only one candidate running for election, I knew this was an opportunity that I could not pass up.

I believe in working toward a common goal of providing the best education for our children by supporting students, parents and teachers. I believe that I can help create an environment in our school that encourages collaboration, communication and transparency. I am committed to this community and its future success.

Having two children in the district and working in a community-centered organization also positions me well to engage with members of the district to hear their concerns and ideas about our schools. I have the support of the local NYSUT and would appreciate your write-in vote on Tuesday, May 20.
Thank you.
