The Verona Conference of SCAs is hosting a Board of Education Candidates Forum at on Tuesday, October 23, at 7 p.m. in Verona High School’s Learning Commons.
The organizers say the forum will follow a standard format of a two-minute opening statement by each candidate, followed by questions from the floor written on cards and handed to the moderator. Each candidate will have 90 seconds to respond to each question and after all the candidates have responded to that question, there can be a 30-second follow up or rebuttal if it is needed. Each candidate will also have time for a closing statement.
The forum will be recorded and posted to the Verona schools website the following day.
If people would like to submit questions ahead of time, they can email Dana DeMars ([email protected]) who will be compiling them for the moderator.
There are four candidates running for two seats in this November’s election are Timothy Alworth, Pamela J. Priscoe, the current BOE President John Quattrocchi, and David Rullo. MyVeronaNJ.com has been asking them to respond to a weekly question for the last four weeks. You can read their views on the value of a public school education, how they would achieve their goals as a BOE member, what they would bring to the Board in the way of innovative governance and the full-day kindergarten and mental health ballot questions by clicking on those links.
