3 Sworn In As Newest Members Of Gloucester Township School Board

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ — New Gloucester Township Board of Education member Jennifer O’Donnell didn’t waste any time making her first request as a member of the board.

“I’d like an itemized list of the bills that I’ll be voting on,” for all future meetings, O’Donnell said after being sworn in during the board’s reorganization meeting on Jan. 9, according to the Sicklerville Sun.

“Otherwise, I don’t feel like I have all the information to make an informed vote,” one of the board’s newest members continued.

O’Donnell later said she was “shocked but thrilled” to be a member of the board, according to the report.

O’Donnell, who also ran for township council last year, is no stranger to the issues facing the board. She has been attending meetings for a few years, and has been outspoken on a range of issues.

O’Donnell, Tracey Lynch and Joseph Angeloni were all elected to the school board in the Nov. 8 elections. They emerged from a crowded field of 13 candidates to win their seats. All three were sworn in on Jan. 9.

MaryJo Dintino was elected president at the meeting, and Mark Gallo was elected vice president of the board, according to the report.
