Diploma Needed to Lead a School BoardJul 10, 2011 Letter in The Journal News Re "Former Monsey fire official Rothschild admits mail fraud," July 1 article: I have been getting angrier and angrier thinking about former East Ramapo School Board President Nathan Rothschild's 11th grade education. During the court proceedings, when he entered a guilty plea on federal charges, Rothschild admitted he had only an 11th grade education. All East Ramapo parents, residents and voters should be outraged. What kind of example is being set for our children when a president of the East Ramapo School Board doesn't have a high school diploma? All residents of East Ramapo should contact their elected state officials and demand that they bring forth a bill requiring that school board members have at least a high school diploma. Let them know they won't get your vote unless they support this bill! Remember that the quality of schools is reflected in property values. Brenda Carole Anderson Wesley Hills
