What a Shocker! Disgraceful BOE...

Guest Goated Again!

Look at the nepotism of the 3 running for the board. Jim Doran has to abstain from many issues because he is related to people employed by the school. Debbie Lowry just retired and her kids are all looking to get a job thru the schools now. Cecila Lindenfelser has enough family members employed by the board. Plus her ** husband was the board attorney. Talk about nepotism

Nepotism, you say? Seven board members have relatives working for the boe. Each one of them SHOULD recuse themselves when conflicts arise. Why is it that Leadbeater and O'Malley always forget to abstain from voting when it benefits their family members? Leadbeater voted yes for his sister's health benefits two meetings ago and O'Malley voted yes for the sidebar agreement with his sister's union at the last meeting. Look at the board minutes. It's right there in black and white. Again, the rules don't apply to everyone. So much for making things better...

Ok Jacka$$, first of all you can't check the Board minutes because they are not made available until 2 months after the meeting, so you're either a rogue Board Member or one of the peanut gallery that attends meetings and think you know what's going on but really don't have a clue. The"side bar" agreement you speak of creates no conflict for Omalley because it only applies to teachers who get hired and want credit for previous teaching experience they have, DOES NOT APPLY TO OMALLEY'S SISTER, therefore he is free to vote on the issue. No NEPOTISM, No CONFLICT, NO Rules broken and NO BENEFIT for a family member........ KEEP TRYING !!!!

Are you for real. Leadbeaters sister has been employed in the school district for over 30 years. OMalleys sister has been employed for over 20. Real nepotism is giving your best friends and employees school jobs. You should look and watch what goes on. Jim Doran sat on the facilities committee for years and his brother is a custodian worker. Was that what Governor Christie was referring too. Or was it the new fence put up at another board members house by the same company the school district uses? You see the fly flies both ways. Stop the bullshit posts here and work for the betterment of our children. Maybe the Frantic4 could do good for Kearny by stopping the accusations on this board.

The Fab 5 and their self serving Superintendent are leading the district to a State Take Over like Jersey City, Paterson, and Newark and many other schools throughout the State of New Jersey. Rest assure that the acting commissioner of education, Mr. Cerf, is well aware of the firing of two veteran educators to hire the Fab 5's cronies, rookies, family and friends. What are the 3 main issues that the Governor of New Jersey uses to take over the entire school district?

1.Nepotim

2.Croanysm

3.Declining Test Scores.( Sounds familiar?)

Take out the Fab 5 and stop a potential investigation and state take over of our schools. Vote for Lindenfelser, Lowry and Doran this November 6, 2012. Our last chance to have local control.

Why is anyone calling these morons the Fab 5? They're the five idiots.

Board minutes are available the following month, not 2 months. So which are you? Rogue board member of one of the peanut gallery? Or stupid board member?

Seems you're pretty good at making accusations yourself. So what is it, do what I say not what I do? It doesn't matter how long a relative is working for a school district. The board member should recuse themselves from voting on anything that concerns their relatives or their bargaining contract. I personally don't think any of that is a big deal, but some board members like to use it as ammunition when it suits them . As for the fence, WTF? Are you trying to say that it was done gratis? Is there some rule that says you can't use a company that some time in the past was used by the school district? I really don't think the boe has an OFFICIAL fence company, dude. So, yeah, the fly flies both ways and sometimes the fly flies with its head up its ass.

Fab 5? Believe me after this November they will be known as the FIZZLED FART FIVE. They are so stupid and a real joke as a Board of Education. They screw and backstab themselves, they screwed the people who helped them and the most unforgivable thing is that they screwed the students of Kearny. They will be a fizzled fart in 3 months. Vote for Lindenfelser, Lowry and Doran and watch them fizzle away!!!

If Board minutes are available the following month, given that today is August 8th, why are the minutes from the May 21st meeting the last ones to be posted? One assumes the June minutes were approved at the July 30th meeting; so where are they?

The best thing that can happen is that the State take over the BOE. This way when the State continues the work the Fab 5 has been doing all you idiots posting crap about the Fab 5 can now start posting crap about the State. Just keep watching the newspaper, pretty soon all you wimpy little "fizzle farts" will have to get your jaws off the ground when all your "friends" are being led away for 3 squares a day!!! and it might even include some of those stinky little white trash farts!!!

People who read this stuff, confirm that this rogue, stupid, peanut munching, dumbas$ board member from the fizzle fart 4 is wrong. Go to BOE web site and look up the minutes to the july meeting.......ooops, there are NONE. That's because minutes are published (2) months after, not the following month. Don't listen to me, and certainly don't TRUST a LIAR, look for yourselves, the last minutes posted are from the MAY 21, 2012 meeting. That's all these scumbags do is post BS, lies and rumors to try and make good people look bad, can you say backfire?

Since Jim Doran has been a boe member for 3 years and his brother has been a custodian for many more years than that, what's the problem with Jim Doran being on the facilities committee? Is his brother a freakin building? Is he part of the construction project at the high school? WHERE'S THE PROBLEM??? And Governor Christie? Please explain why anyone should give a rat's ass what he may or may not take issue with. But, i could understand why a certain member of the boe might be in the same league as our expansive governor . . . bullies of a feather flock together?

Really, that's how you're going to spin it?

"Torres and Sherry each have a relative employed by the boe" is NOT true. It's multiple relatives. Also don't forget Pettigrew.

I have no problem that you three decide to come and sit together at Board of Education meetings where administrator/personnel decisions are made. I also have no problem that you "vocalize" your opinions so long as the public knows your personal interests. Only the inside circle knows the intricate web of family and friends involved here. Let the public weigh the opinions you express and that of anyone else AFTER they know the employment relationships of family members and friends with the school district.

As to my opinion, yes I have a problem that the threesome of Torres/Cifelli Pettigrew/Cifelli Sherry only shows up (collectively or just Torres/Pettigrew) at Board of Education meetings when administrator decisions are being made, like DiGesere or principals. or when a family member or friend wants to be hired.

I'm not threatened. I think the opposite is true.

I hope you and the others in your threesome come to EVERY Board of Education meeting going forward. Prove me wrong.

Did the Lady Threesome of Barbara Cifelli, Laura Cifelli-Pettigrew and Mary Torres attend the July Board of Education meeting?

Abso-freakin'-lutely right! This is exactly what these guys do, any time they get a chance? Whoever voted for these assholes, shame on you!

What is going on with the Fab 5? The Superintendent Bolandi is an idiot and has done nothing except get his fiancee a big promotion. NEPOTISM! There is no direction or agenda except in getting their family member jobs even if they have to fire a 30 plus year veteran educator (Mr. Hoff) to hire a five year rookie teacher. (Mr. Avitable ) Barbara Avitable's son, as Vice Principal of Franklin School, who works for the Board of Ed. Now, who are they going to hire as Principal of Kearny High School? Let's see? Who is related to Paul Castelli? John Leadbeater? John Plaugic? Robert O'Malley? George King? (The Fabulous Five). It doesn't matter if they have experience or not, only thing that matters is nepotism. Whoever is related to any of them will be the next Kearny High School Principal. NEPOTISM IS THE KEY WORD. I've gone to almost every BOE meeting for the pass two years and NEPOTISM is the only driving force of the fabulous five and their worthless Superintendent Bolandi.

Fab 5 Must Go! Fab 5 Must Go! Fab 5 Must Go! Fab 5 Must Go! (Chant this in November's election) Take back our schools!

No truer and factual words have been ever said. An excellent chant also.Vote for Lindenfelser. Lowery and Doran on November 6, 2012. Let's cook these five turkeys on Thanksgiving Day. Fab 5 must go! Fab 5 must go! Fab 5 must go! I like it !!!!!!!

I agree. I use to also be a very strong Fab 5 supporter but after seeing their self serving conduct on the board and how they replaced an experienced VP to put in one of their own crony and how they fired an outstanding high school principal I,m going to put Lindenfelser, Lowry and Doran signs on my lawn.
