    Franklin Field

    It has nothing to do with wrong piping, that contractors is just ripping off the schools. The school was force to pick the current contractor, but for some reason every time he cut corner the school ok the cut and he continues to do a horrible job.

    Political signs

    No you can't put signs on someones lawn without permission. It's against elections rules also you can be charged with trespassing on someone's property.
  3. I can understand how you feel about the election being manipulated. However, if everyone had the same feeling then nothing worthwhile would ever get done. As an independent running this election, it’s not easy to fight the system and find support in the community. Normally, in the Board of Ed elections, there are just about 100 or so votes that separate the winners from the losers. In this case, to change the system is not an enormous undertaking so I hope you can prove this election is not rigged and vote. My objective is to fight the good fight and incentivize people to make their vote count on April 27th so together we could make a difference.
  4. On March 30, I will be attending The Kearny Taxpayers Association meeting that will take place at 7:30 pm in the Lithuanian Catholic Community Center . The LCC center is located at 6 Davis Ave in Kearny. I was invited for a question and answer section about running for the Board of Ed. I was advised that other candidates will also attend. If anyone is interested in going, you are more than welcome to do so.
  5. I honestly hope to sell the Midland Ave building and cut the town loses. Also hope that Franklin school doesn't become a middle school. Unfortunately, I need 4 other board members to agree with me. Any support you can give me would be great, but you also need to make your voices heard when the board of ed has there meetings.
  6. From what I've read, some of the costs of acquiring the property are as follows: 975,000 Cost of Property 80,000 - 120,000 Removal of Oil Tanks (estimated as there is some confusion on the exact amount) 180,000 Architect fees 25,000 Legal fees Renovation costs are still unknown The other costs are hard to know unless there is a direct access to the Board. You can ask for an open public record act request (OPRA), but since no one has a clear idea what is being done, the true dollar amount will be hard to come by. I believe everyone on this board can agree the cost will not be covered by a 1.2 million dollar grant. As far as why the purchase of the property, it was to move the Board of Ed offices to Midland Ave and increase classroom space in hopes to make Franklin School a Middle School. My concern is that the move will not free up enough space at Franklin School to justify the 1mil + dollar expenditure, not to mention the fact that the property was bought as-is, which raises a red flag. Anyhow, in my opinion, the community and students will not benefit from this project. As a candidate running for the Board of Ed this year, I thought by bringing up this topic I'd introduce a project that has been talked about and acted upon which many, if not most, Kearny residents are not aware of. If you have further thoughts on this issue, I'd appreciate them. Thank you.
  7. How does everyone feel about the board of ed buying the building on Midland Ave?
