Tuckahoe School Board Election Uncontested

Dr. Daniel Crough is unopposed in his bid for a second term.

Petitions for candidacy in the Tuckahoe School Board race were due Monday, and only one candidate came forward — incumbent Dr. Daniel Crough.

Dr. Crough is the chairman of the three-member board, which also consists of Harald Steudte and Robert Grisnik. Terms are three years long, so one member comes up for election each year.

Dr. Crough, an emergency physician at Southampton Hospital, is seeking his second term.

According to his bio on the district website, he and his wife, Allyson, have two children, Noelle, who graduated from Tuckahoe and now attends Southampton High School, and Spencer, who attends Tuckahoe.

The election and the vote on the district's 2013-14 budget will be held on May 21.
