If you’re a registered voter in Montclair you now have the right to decide who sits on the Township’s Board of Education. Make sure to use that right in this Tuesday’s election, and to use it wisely. More on our choices: https://t.co/yh2Jc6WhJC
After a successful grassroots effort to give @montclairschls an elected Board of Education, on Tuesday voters will finally have a chance to choose who will represent them on the BOE. @MelanieDeysher and Phaedra Dunn offer two excellent choices. https://t.co/PV2wMYnfxe
I wrote about the nine candidates running to be on the @montclairschls Board of Ed last week. They are parents, teachers, MPS grads and more looking to join the board and help the district. (Also, 2 are backed by @VoteMontclair) https://t.co/9kmj8PnqiQ
Vote Montclair will be working to help ensure that ensuing BOE elections are contested by candidates who reflect the spirit of independence, accountability and transparency this group was founded around.
Following our successful referendum in Nov 2021 to convert @montclairschls Board of Education from an appointed to elected body, we will be supporting 2 candidates in this March 8, 2022 special election: https://t.co/2itMivtzse
Supporting an elected Board of Education doesn't mean discounting the contribution of appointed BOE members. On the contrary, it's a call for a more empowered board, says former @montclairschls BOE member @sergeyo . https://t.co/VnzGAYwjLE via @montclairlocal

Our Township has a set of democratic institutions and habits that are by any reasonable measure stunted, and ailing. Grassroots elections for the local school board can help change that, says @VoteMontclair founder @erikdamato. https://t.co/Ws0eDMewiG via @baristanet
An elected Board of Education will raise the voices of all Montclarians, especially the least heard, says Obdulia Miranda-Woodley.

A "no" vote on Tuesday's referendum wouldn't just mean a return to a failed status quo under a mayor-controlled Board of Education in @MontclairNJGov . It could be far, far worse, writes local parent @jfarb710 . https://t.co/bu1ZXeJAUT via @montclairlocal
Former Planning Board member and longtime community leader Martin Schwartz says that during the 2009 referendum he voted to retain an appointed Board of Education, but this time he's all in for elected. https://t.co/ZyP027duOG via @montclairlocal
