Campaign 2008: Board of Education:
A candidacy worth
considering.
School board challenger Deborah Wertalik is a fresh
face that seeks the change we need.
Normally
we find the race for seats on the North Arlington Board of Education
a big yawn.
Candidates
promise to keep taxes in check only to blindly follow the lead of
school bureaucrats obsessed with doling out raises and promotions while

the addition of another new face will create a mix that get
things done. Read More

SCHOOL BOARD RACE 2008:
The "dumbing down" of public education in North
Arlington!
A lack of educational leadership by Stringham &
Marano leaves the school district looking foolish once again.
The uniform debate turns ugly and political for
no apparent reason.
Who
really runs North Arlington's schools?
It's
an honest question in a dishonest atmosphere that surrounds public education
here in the borough. It's getting embarrassing as the "so
called" leadership in the district tries to be all things to all people! Read More
