Letter: Re-Elect John Dinice for Mahwah Board of Education

My name is John Dinice and I’m running for re-election for the Mahwah Board of Education. I have lived in Mahwah for 28 years and have three children in the Mahwah school district. I currently serve on the Mahwah Board of Education as the 2nd Vice President.

I also Chair the Policy Committee and serve on the Executive/Planning Committee, Facilities and Finance Committee, and Technology Committee. I previously served on the Community Relations Committee, Liaison to the Bergen County School Boards, and Liaison to Mahwah Access for All. In addition, I have completed the mandated 3 year training required by the NJ Department of Education and have attended numerous workshops, conferences, and seminars.

The entire Executive Committee and longest tenured members of the Board of Education are all up for re-election this November. There is a time and place for new members on the Board of Education, but that time is not now and that place is certainly not Mahwah. Our town is facing uncertain times and during times of uncertainty experience, stability, and leadership are vital.

It is our responsibility to protect our school district with strong ironclad policies in order to keep the district properly funded so that we may continue to be a high performing school district and among the best in New Jersey; now and in the future. We owe that to our children.
