Monroe County school elections reshape boards, budgets pass and fail countywide

Monroe County voters delivered a mix of outcomes in local school elections: East Irondequoit approved shrinking its board from nine to seven seats by 2027; Spencerport’s budget was defeated, with next steps potentially a contingency budget or a revote; in Greece, newcomer Jenne LaPlaca defeated incumbent William Maloney; Penfield saw two incumbents lose and board president Aaliyah El-Amin-Turner suspend her re-election bid amid hostile rhetoric; across the county many districts passed budgets, bus purchases, and capital projects as unofficial results rolled in.
