Manhasset Board of Education President Regina Rule and Trustee Christine Monterosso are running for re-election unopposed.

The election is May 21, and will also allow voters to make judgments on the school district’s 2019-20 budget and seven capital reserve items.

Rule joined the board in 2010. She works in jewelry fabrication and is retired from the fixed-income trading business in which she worked as a bond trader at Goldman Sachs.

Monterosso is a retired attorney and has three children currently attending schools in the district. She has served on the board for three years.

The trustee highlighted having children in the district as a strength when she first ran in 2016.

“I know a lot of mothers with younger children in the district and I hope to serve as their voice on the board,” she told Blank Slate Media in 2016.

When she moved to Manhasset in 2004, it was because of the school district, she said.

Rule moved to Manhasset in 1993 for the same reason, she said. Her husband attended Manhasset Public Schools and they decided to move there to raise their children.

“We have an incredible faculty, staff and administrators in the school district,” Rule said during her last run for board president. “And I enjoy the process of making sure that we have challenging course curriculums for students from K-12.”
