Mahopac, N.Y. — Mahopac School Board President Jonathan Schneider has resigned from the Board of Education. Schneider, whose term was due to conclude at the end of June, submitted his letter of resignation on March 5, effective immediately.
In a statement following Schneider’s resignation, the board said Vice President Fernando Martinez will serve as acting president “as per Policy 2220.”
The statement said the board will discuss options surrounding the vacancy at its next meeting. After a scheduled retreat at BOCES on the evening of March 6, upcoming meetings of the full Board of Education include a work session at 6 p.m. Thursday, March 20 at the Fall School and a regular meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 25 at Mahopac High School.
“We thank Trustee Schneider for his service and dedication during his time on the board,” the statement read. “His contributions have been valued, and his commitment to the district will not be forgotten.”
Schneider, a partner in the Mahopac-based Schneider Financial Group, is a lifelong Mahopac resident and former Marine. He previously served on the Carmel Town Board. He was elected to the Board of Education in 2022 and defeated former president Ben DiLullo at the board’s July 2024 reorganization meeting to become president.
The 2025-2025 Mahopac Central School District Budget and Trustee election takes place on May 20 at the Mahopac High School gym. Three seats on the board are open. Signed petitions for prospective school board candidates must be filed with District Clerk Melody LaRocca no later than April 21.
This is a developing story.
