Hoerz, Andrew Running for MCS School Board

MIDDLEBURGH - Incumbent Vicki Hoerz and newcomer Wes Andrew are running for two seats on the Middleburgh school board.

Deb Bechtold, the current school board president, is not running for re-election.

The seats are for three years.

Vicki Hoerz

Ms. Hoerz is a retired Middleburgh elementary school teacher and a member of the Middleburgh Rotary. She has been on the  board since 2016. Her husband Stephen Hoerz and son Josh Hoerz graduated from MCS and her granddaughter Sadie Hoerz is currently enrolled at MCS.

"I’ve lived in Middleburgh since 1989. Through teaching and Rotary, I’ve become familiar with many families and the community," Ms. Hoerz said.

"As a former teacher at Middleburgh, I’m familiar with the day-to-day routines and operations of the school/classroom.  I have a deep appreciation for the hard work and planning that must be done daily.  Since joining the BOE, I’ve had the opportunity to see all areas at work, and areas that need improvement.  

"I’d like to continue to be a voice for the community to help ensure the needs of parents, faculty/staff, and most importantly, students are represented and heard."

Basil Wesley Andrew

Mr. Andrew is employed by Abbott Labs. He is a member of the Middleburgh Rotary, NY District Rotary, and has been Vice President of MEVAC for six years.

"Middleburgh Central School success affects every person living in the district. We as a community must work toward continued success of our school to ensure the graduates and the community remain a place we all have pride in. Creating and maintaining an environment where students, parents, staff, and the board all feel heard and like an integral part of the process is my leading objective," Mr. Andrew said.
