Sorpresas para las elecciones de noviembre del Consejo Escolar de Secaucus

Last Monday was the filing deadline for candidates to run for the November 8th school board elections in New Jersey, the same day as the mid-term elections.  With three seats up for grabs in Secaucus, two veteran school board trustees and one other incumbent decided not to file for re-election.

Jack McStowe, the current Board of Education President and Kathy Huber O’Connell, both veterans of the Board, as well as Jayesh Patel, have chosen not to run for re-election.

Five people did file as candidates, however.  They are:

• Nicholas Mattiello, cartel “Sigue avanzando”
• Monica Berckes, cartel “Sigue avanzando”

• Christina DeBari, “Para los niños”
• Alexander de Hombre, “Para los niños” pizarra (no tuvo éxito el año pasado para la Junta de Educación de Secaucus)
• Kelli Ann Conroy D’Addetta, “Para los niños” (ex administrador de la Junta de Educación)

Outgoing trustees McStowe, O’Connell and Patel have endorsed the “For the Children” slate in the November election.
