My name is Mike Konsul and I am running for the Board of Education. I was born and raised in Catskill, attended St. Patricks’ High School until it closed, graduated from Catskill High School and received my bachelor’s degree in biology from SUNY Buffalo. I own and operate a small carpentry business for close to 20 years. For the past 8 years I have been coaching basketball at Catskill.

I am the father of twin children who graduated from Catskill High School in 2022. I am running for the Board of Education to restore transparency and trust to our school district. The function of the Board of Education is to serve the interest of the community and the taxpayers who fund our schools, teachers, coaches, and administrators. In my opinion our current Board of Education has become dysfunctional. If elected I will work towards making our Board of Education functional, transparent, and trustworthy. Thank you.
