Incumbent BBP Trustee To Seek New Term

Bayport resident Jane Burgess, an incumbent Bayport-Blue Point Board of Education trustee, will seek re-election this year in what is quickly becoming a hotly contested race.

"I am running cause I still love it," she told Patch in an email. "But also to help with the team making the transition to new superintendent and to keep the schools moving in a positive forward path to improvement."

Burgess joins fellow incumbent Andrea O'Neill who announced earlier this week she's aiming for another term as well.

The third seat up for grabs is the trustee seat of Kathleen Heinlein. Patch has not yet been able to reach Heinlein for comment on her election decision.

Four newcomers are vying for board seats as well this year. Stay tuned to Patch for profiles of candidates, budget overview and a look at two ballot referendums.
