School board elections are often overlooked yet they are very important. The school budget makes up a sizable chunk of most municipal taxes that burden residents. This year, Seton Hall CRs is proud that one of their own, Matt Gilson, will be seeking a seat on the Board of Education in his hometown of Rutherford. The election, to be held April 20th, will be for three seats. None of the incumbents have indicated yet whether they will seek election. He has cited a need for smarter spending and an end to failing programs as his main reasons for running. Let us all offer whatever we can to our fellow CR in his campaign, this is a great opportunity to show that CRs can make a difference.
