Letter to the Community from Matthew Zloto, Candidate for Bronxville School Board
May 14, 2025
To the Community:
My name is Matthew Zloto, and I am running for a seat on the Bronxville School Board because I have a strong connection to the mission of the school, and I am deeply committed to ensuring our children are well-prepared for their futures beyond our school. Here’s why I believe you should vote for me:
Parent Perspective
If current members are re-elected, three of seven Board members would have no children in the school — I offer a needed parent voice. With three children currently in the Bronxville School (Blair in 5th, Blythe in 3rd, and Blake in 1st), my interests directly align with advancing students' best interests. Next year, with children in both Elementary and Middle School, I'll have firsthand insight into how Board decisions affect families daily and will be present and accessible at the school to all our stakeholders.
Organizational Leadership
The Bronxville School is a large and complex organization requiring dynamic leadership – especially as we face rapidly changing technology and potential funding uncertainty from BOE and state budget changes. As Co-President of CreditSights, I oversee hundreds of employees and thousands of customer relationships in our global credit markets research company. I navigate complex finance, human resources, and communication challenges daily. This leadership experience will help me contribute meaningfully to addressing our school's organizational challenges over the next three years.
Enhanced Communication
The need for improved communication is a topic that often comes up when speaking to parents, teachers and students. At CreditSights, I successfully managed stakeholder communication through our acquisition by Fitch and integration of three companies. I'll bring this expertise to ensure transparency, responsive communication, and that all voices are heard in our school community. I will seek to foster two-way communication, provide transparency into decision making and build trust between parents, teachers and students that we are all working together towards our shared goal of educational excellence and college preparedness.
Municipal Bond Expertise
With nearly two decades experience in credit markets, I bring specialized expertise for our upcoming capital project funding. In my current role as Co-President of CreditSights I oversee a team which publishes research, news and data focused on the credit markets – importantly including the municipal bond market. I will use my personal knowledge and professional network to ensure our school secures optimal terms for our bond issuance, maximizing value for our community's investment.
I appreciate the conversations many of you have shared with me in recent weeks about my candidacy. I'm committed to building upon our school's excellence while bringing fresh perspective and relevant expertise to the Board.
I would be honored to have your vote.
Sincerely,
Matthew Zloto

Letters Directory
Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.
While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.
Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.
The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
