School Board Candidates to State Their Cases Tonight

The forum will begin at 7:30 p.m.

The individuals running for open seats on the Scotch Plains-Fanwood Board of Education this April will introduce themselves and state their positions tonight during a special forum at district headquarters.

The Scotch Plains-Fanwood PTA Council is sponsoring the event, which begins at 7:30 p.m. Each candidate will give an introductory statement. The session will follow with questions posed by the PTA Council, then with questions from the public.

Scotch Plains-Fanwood has nine total Board of Education members, split geographically based on population – seven from Scotch Plains and two from Fanwood. One 3-year Fanwood term is open, and that's being run for by incumbent Amy Winkler, Michael Lewis and Christopher Pflaum. A remaining 1-year Fanwood term is also on the ballot, which is being run for by current member Rob O'Connor. In Scotch Plains, two 3-year terms are up for election. Incumbents Nancy Bauer and David Gorbunoff are running for both.
