MAPLEWOODIANS OF THE WEEK: BOARD OF EDUCATION

The Board of Education had a busy week, beginning with word from Business Administrator Cheryl Schneider that enrollment increases and "aging" facilities will hit the upcoming budget talks hard.

The board on Monday night then heard from angry parents about math program problems, while others pushed for the proposed gifted and talented program, which the board approved, 9-0.

Finally, the board continues to search for a new superintendent and updated residents on the search.

All of this earns the board notice as Maplewoodians of the Week.
