The upcoming Board of Education elections promise to be exciting to say the least:

From budgeting woes, overcrowding and rezoning to funding cuts, contract disputes and salary squabbles, this has been a tremendously tough past year for the District. Three seats are up for election with two incumbents – Andrea Wren-Hardin  and Sandra Karriem – and three newcomers – Marian Cutler, William Gaudelli and James LoStuto – campaigning. School elections are Wednesday, April 27.

We're lucky to live in two towns that have so many people willing to volunteer their time, effort and expertise to make this a better place to live. Patch looks forward to getting to know all the candidates, their views and thoughts on just what they intend to bring to the Board!

Richard Laine announced Monday night that he will NOT seek another term on the Board of Education. We thank him for his service to the community.
