Former Marlboro School Board Members Make Shocking Allegations Regarding Upcoming Referendum

Former Board Members Rosenwald and Dean allege Referendum is based on Falsehoods, Half-Truths, Scare Tactics

Two former elected members of the Marlboro K-8 School Board have written an opinion in today's News Transcript, alleging the upcoming Marlboro school referendum to conduct repairs on antiquated equipment, is based on half-truths, falsehoods and scare tactics.

Former Board members, Bonnie Sue Rosenwald, and former vice president, Victoria Dean, made the explosive allegations in a joint opinion letter.

The referendum, is being placed--- for the third time-- on the ballot, despite being overwhelmingly rejected twice by Marlboro voters.

Among the several allegations, is the school districts plan to have a "special" election on Tuesday, September 26, 2017, as opposed to waiting--and saving money--by having the election on November 7th, when a much larger turnout is expected for the governor's election and all members of the state legislature.

This issue was addressed by present Board of Education member, Craig Marshall, who's opinion also made the same edition of The Transcript, as did the two former Board members.
