Carle Place Board of Education President runs unopposed

Twenty-five years in and Lawrence Zaino is still going strong on the Carle Place Board of Education.

Zaino, who has served for many years as the board of education president, is seeking another three-year term in an uncontested race later this month. He said he’s sticking around because he cares deeply about leveraging his experience to serve the community where he and his children grew up and went to school.

“I have a very new board, and I have a superintendent who is in his second year,” Zaino said, referring to Ted Cannone, who assumed the superintendent role in 2023, and multiple members of the board who took office last year. “I think I could lend a lot of history and background to things that they don’t know, that they’re not aware of, which will help them become better board members and manage the school better.”

Zaino said he’s lived between Westbury and Carle Place his entire life. His father was on the board of Westbury’s school district, which he attended growing up. He’s been a Carle Place board member while his (now graduated) daughter attended school in this district.
