Election of a Teacher Board Member
Delegates attending the 2025 Annual Delegates Meeting will elect an active teacher to NYSTRS’ Board of Trustees.
Natalie McKay, a teacher in the Schoharie Central School District, is running for election for the 2026-2029 term on the Board. She was appointed to the Board earlier this year by New York State Commissioner of Education Dr. Betty A. Rosa and is automatically on the ballot.
The Rules of Procedure for the conduct of the teacher Board member election are available now. Nominations for other teacher Board member candidates will be accepted via the nomination form. The deadline for nominations is 4 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 3, 2025. Only forms completed in full and submitted electronically will be accepted. Nominations will not be accepted after Oct. 3 and cannot be made on the day of the election.
An alternate can only vote in the teacher Board member election if their delegate is unable to attend. Their employer must notify NYSTRS by Friday, Oct. 31 that the alternate is attending and voting in the delegate's place.
About Delegates
Elected by peers at their district, NYSTRS delegates serve two important functions: to elect a teacher member to the Retirement Board at the Annual Delegates Meeting, and to serve as a liaison between NYSTRS and the members in their district.
