Sharyn Angley, Malani Cademartori, Sheillah Dallara, Chetali Khanna, and Ailene McGuirk claim to be “committed to integrity, equity, and respectful collaboration.” These are easy words to say in theory. However, in practice:
1) none of them held Superintendent Johnson accountable for lying for over a decade about having a doctorate.
2) Equity? District test results continue to show Black and Hispanic students performing far below their White peers across the entire K–12 grade span.
3) Integrity? Ailene McGuirk and the Board spent tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars misleading the community by branding all district schools as “blue ribbon schools.”
4) Collaboration with the Community: all of them tried to push through a $241 million ($330 with interest) bond referendum with minimal public input.
These Board members have chosen public relations over real governance- and fall short of the ideals behind the words integrity, equity, and respectful collaboration with the community.
When someone feels the need to write in their political campaign post that they don’t have a political agenda they do.
Remember these so called Trustees hid, lied about and tried to slip past the voters of Hoboken billon dollar construction protect that would have raised ready high taxes to the point of forcing out many.
Yes, this one doesn’t feel right – -more background maneuvering. Would love to ask these new candidates how they voted on the $241m referendum a few years back. We don’t get to ask those questions — we are just told to look the other way….. Today we march for Democracy — but a working democracy requires transparency at all levels of govenment…..long gone…..
Lyin’, cheatin’, self-serving. This private club yields power so they can pick the “right” teachers for their kids. It’s been happening for years, and this crew has perfected it.
