Haddonfield BOE Candidates Debate
This is the only scheduled debate before the Nov. 5 election.
The Haddonfield Zone PTA will sponsor a debate among candidates for the Board of Education at 7 p.m. tonight at the Middle School auditorium.
The candidates are: Matthew Jeremy Bass, Carlton Chin, Mary Fagan, Amy Keys Shaw and David Siedell.
Three seats are open on the nine-member board. Three incumbent board members, Joe Ehrhardt, Cheryl Laney and Steve Weinstein all decided not to run for reelection.
The current board's unsuccessful $12.5 million referendum to buy the Bancroft property adjacent to the high school was defeated by voters in January. The installation of artificial turf on the high school football stadium and an adjacent practice field were also actions for which there was some public opposition. Those issues may have led to the contested election.
By contrast, Maureen Eyles, Andrew Berlin and Dennis Kelleher ran unopposed last fall.
Election day is Nov. 5.
