Posted

Elmont School District Board of Education President Michael A. Jaime was elected to the Nassau-Suffolk School Boards Association’s Executive Committee at its annual dinner on May 28.

An Elmont Board of Education member for the last 8 years, Jaime has served as president of the Board since January 2010. In addition, he spent five years on the Sewanhaka Central High School District Board of Education and was part of the superintendent selection process that led to the hiring of Dr. Ralph Ferrie.

Jaime is an associate project manager for the consulting firm Accenture and lives in Elmont with his wife, Danielle, and their three children. He said his appointment to the NSSBA executive board and legislative committee will allow him to foster the power of collaboration across Long Island to provide equity in funding and reform of education laws that prohibit local control of Long Island schools.

Additionally, Jaime said he is proud to serve on the New York State School Board Association as the liaison to the New York State Caucus of Black School Board members, which is focused on closing the achievement gaps across the entire state.
