Board of Trustees
New Suffolk Common School has a three-person Board of Trustees, which holds meetings on the second Tuesday of every month. These meetings are always open to the public, and we welcome you to join us to listen in, provide feedback, and in general participate in the direction of our unique school.
As a group, we are continually striving to facilitate the best possible learning and teaching environment for the students and teachers. We also have the unique responsibility of working alongside the community to preserve the school building and grounds as a mainstay of the New Suffolk culture and history.

Deborah has been a resident of New Suffolk for over 40 years and can hear the peal of the school’s bell each morning. She has 3 daughters all of whom were born in Manhattan but grew up on the North Fork. And, with her husband, she is a principal owner of the nearby Lenz Winery.
Deborah has been closely involved with K-12 schooling, having worked in the Admissions Department of the Chapin School in New York City since 2000.
