The Roosevelt Island PS/IS 217 PTA is holding elections for their Executive Board and School Leadership Team (SLT) on October 29.
Nominations for the positions are accepted thru the October 29 election date. 
Current PS/IS 217 PTA President Irena Durkovic is not running for the upcoming term. Ms Durkovic reports:
I never had aspirations to be a PTA president, but was asked to do it
since nobody else wanted to. I could see how 217 was improving and knew
that the work PTA did had directly influenced that. I thought that
instead of just enjoying the benefits of someone else’s work, it was my
civic duty to volunteer.Once on a board I continued to work
alongside my fellow board members on organizing and simplifying the
structure. There were a lot of small victories along the way, but the
highlight has definitely been the PTAs ability to support the school
and help them safely re-open this fall. The most challenging part of
being on a PTA board was facilitating effective communication between
school, families and Roosevelt Island community. I consider it a great
personal success being able to volunteer and help my community for the
past two years, and I am looking forward to seeing new parents take the
lead.
