Paramus voters have the opportunity to meet the seven candidates running for the three available seats on the Board of Education at a candidates night set for Thursday, Nov. 1 at 7:30 p.m.

The candidates night will be conducted by the League of Women Voters who will provide a moderator for the session. The event will take place at the East Brook Middle School auditorium.
