BOE candidates file to run in November

BOE , from Page 1 in many areas here in Hammonton , but i enjoy the work i do for our students , parents and teachers the most ... When i was first elected , i was the youngest person ever to serve at the BOE and was single with no children . Now 13 years later , i ’ m married with a five-yearold daughter and a new born son who arrived only two weeks ago . Over the years working with our students , teachers , administrators and parents , i have a much greater appreciation for the role that public schools play in the community . i ’ m running for re-election to ensure that Hammonton ’ s schools continue the successes that i have been a key part of over the past 13 years ,” Lyons said in a statement . Berenato is a retired educator . “ i have 31 years experience as a teacher . i understand the plight of the teachers . i understand that they are the mainstay of the schools ... i view myself as the only watchdog on the board . i don ’ t want the town to get clobbered with runaway taxes and deficits ,” Berenato said .

Like Berenato , Byrnes served as an educator prior to serving on the board .

“ i am running for reelection because i see a trend that is happening in education that is positive and i want to be part a of the journey . Our kids are making pretty good strides with the ParCC testing and i want to see how we do with it going forward ,” Byrnes said .

Scipione is running to keep his seat .

“ i have been there for six months . i have learned a lot . There are some things happening in the future that i want to be part of , including the selection of the new superintendent . i think , as a father of two pre-school-aged sons , it ’ s important to know what is happening in our schools and to help be a force of positive change ,” Scipione said . ingemi said he wants to be part of the process of hiring a new superintendent .

“ i am running for school board because i oppose the failed policies of our current board leadership . i intend to restore fiscal responsibility , improve educational quality , assure student safety , and help choose the right person to be the next superintendent . The current school board leadership has proved incapable in these areas . i am running for the one-year term because by having to fill only one seat , voters will have the opportunity to make an unequivocal statement of their desire for change with me as their choice ,” ingemi said .

New Jersey Fringe Festival Aug . 5-Aug . 7
