FLASH REPORT: At its regularly scheduled meeting this evening, the Bridgewater Township Council discussed the question of whether or not to move the school elections to November, including the public’s ability to vote on the school budget.
It decided to defer action on the issue, leaving it up to the Bridgewater-Raritan Board of Education which will take up the matter at its meeting on February 14th at the Wade Building.
Mr. Evan Lerner, President of the Bridgewater-Raritan Board of Education stepped up to the mike during the public portion of tonight’s meeting, stated his views and fielded questions from council members. He concurred with the council that this decision would be better off left to the BR-BOE.
Lerner made it clear that he was speaking merely on his own behalf and not for that of the school board as a whole. He strongly emphasized that he favors moving the school elections from April to November, including eliminating the present right of voters to cast their lots yea or nay on the school budget.
No other member of the BR-BOE was present at tonight’s meeting.
Thanks for reading and stay well. Keep in your thoughts and prayers a member of the council who is soon scheduled to undergo surgery.
