Bistrians Now Pres and V.P. in Amagansett

The Amagansett School Board now has two Patrick Bistrians serving as president and vice president.

At the board’s organizational meeting last Thursday, Dawn Brophy, who was appointed last month following the resignation of Steve Graboski, nominated Patrick R. Bistrian for president. Kristen Peterson, who herself was sworn in as one of the board’s newest members that day, seconded the nomination. Mr. Bistrian was unanimously elected.

Ms. Brophy then nominated Mr. Bistrian’s first cousin, Patrick Bistrian III, for vice president. That vote was also unanimous.

Both men were already serving on the five-member board, which has a majority of new members for the 2016-17 school year. Ms. Peterson and Hank Muchnic, who was also sworn in last Thursday, ran unopposed in May and were elected to the seats vacated by Victoria Handy and Phelan Wolf, who did not seek re-election
