Millburn To Hold Board Of Education Candidate Forum Monday

MILLBURN, NJ — The nine-member Millburn Board of Education will have a lot on its plate in the next few months as students gradually return to on-site education.

Some students in grades five and up will begin returning to the buildings on Nov. 9. Kids in fourth grade and younger whose parents chose hybrid learning already returned Monday.

Three slots are open on the school board, and residents can vote for any three during the Nov. 3 election. They will hold three-year terms.

On Monday, Columbus Day, the Millburn Township PTO will sponsor a virtual candidates' forum. To get an email with a link to it, sign up here.

The candidates are:

• Louie Shen (incumbent) (Maintain Excellence slate)
• Jamie Serruto (incumbent) (Maintain Excellence)
• Alez Zaltsman (incumbent) (Maintain Excellence)
• Christina DiCosmo (Success, Nothing Less)

Members of the public can submit questions here: ptocmillburn@gmail.com
