John Quattrocchi is running for a fifth term on the Verona Board of Education, and he will be joined on the ballot by Michele Bernardino, an 11-year resident of Verona with three children in Verona public schools. The two are the only two candidates running for the two open seats this year.
Since a candidates night that was to have been held by the Verona Conference of SCAs (School Community Association) was cancelled after a third contender, Joanna Breitenbach, withdrew from the election, MyVeronaNJ.com has offered Bernardino and Quattrocchi one more chance to present themselves to the community. You can read the statements from each candidate by clicking on the links below:

The polls will be open on Tuesday from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. and voting also includes Verona’s state assembly seat, the Essex County clerk and the Essex County sheriff. Please note that, because Breitenbach withdrew from the election after the ballots were printed, her name still appears on the document.
