My name is Amy Doody and I am interested in running for the Owen D. Young School board to be more involved in the community for my children and my neighbors. A little about me, I have a Bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Business from SUNY Cobleskill as well as a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing from SUNY Delhi. I am a full time Registered Nurse at Bassett Medical Center in Cooperstown going into my 15th year. My husband and I own and operate Augur Doody Farm up on Wiltse Corners Road milking 40 head of dairy cattle, we raise beef cattle, sheep and meat chickens where we provide retail/wholesale sales at our onsite farm stand. I am also the local 4H leader for the Springfield High Meadows club with over 30 kids involved. I have volunteered as a soccer coach for Richfield Youth Sports the past 4 years, and currently a board member for the OHM Holstein club. I would like to be more involved with the community where I live and work, and want to be more involved in the community where it effects our daily lives. I have 3 children that currently attend Owen d. Young.

I have been a Board Member for 9 years focusing on student needs since that is what the school district is here for. I want our school district students to have opportunities that ready them for future academics or employment. Advocate and focused in providing STEM type, and extracurricular activities that that larger school can provide. As a Tax payer I want to keep taxes in check and insure we use the funding to provide the best education a small school can provide with a limited budget .
