SCHOOL BOARD INCUMBENT LAWSON-MUHAMMAD JOINS SOUTH ORANGE CHALLENGER IN RE-ELECTION CAMPAIGN
 |
| Stephanie Lawson-Muhammad |
Lawson-Muhammad is one of three incumbents whose seats are up in this year's election on Nov. 8. The other two are Beth Daugherty, who is not running for re-election, and Johanna Wright, who is running.
So far, however, only two challengers -- Anthony Mazzocchi of Maplewood and Susie S. Adamson of South Orange -- have filed to run in the election. The deadline to file is Monday.
While Lawson-Muhammad and Davis have not filed to run, a lengthy email from Davis seeking support is circulating in the area.
It says, in part:
As some of you may have heard, Stephanie and I are running on the same ticket for the South Orange-Maplewood Board of Education election in November 2016. While Stephanie is running as an incumbent, this is my first election. There are several reasons why I decided to run, but one reason can be encapsulated in a statement made by our own Michael Minor, “If you are not at the table, you are on the menu.” Our school district has long offered the vision of a place where all students are fully challenged and effectively prepared to realize their full potential. Indeed, the Board of Education has made closing the Achievement Gap a top priority every year for the last two decades. But we have to admit that -- while some progress has been made -- it is way too little and too slow. Especially for children of color. Stephanie and I believe that we can all agree that the pace of change needs to increase. With the commitment of our new Superintendent, Dr. John Ramos, and leveraging the School Board's recently-adopted "Access and Equity" policy, we believe the opportunity exists to accelerate the effort to turn vision into reality.
See the entire letter, which also includes detailed campaign contribution guidelines, HERE.
We have reached out to Lawson-Muhammad and Davis, but neither has responded as of Friday.

SCHOOL BOARD SKIPS CHS BASEBALL COACH BULLYING UPDATE
The district had indicated that Superintendent John Ramos would provide a recommendation on the issue at Monday's board meeting. But none was forthcoming during Ramos' report to the board or at any other time in the meeting.
The board on July 6 received the final report from outside investigator Leroy Seitz, who was paid $5,000 to review the district's own review that found Fischetti had committed acts of bullying. But that report has not been released.
A public information request for the report by Maplewoodian.com was denied in a letter dated July 18 that stated, "the report is not subject to disclosure since the report contains information and opinions that are considered advisory, consultative, and deliberative and therefore exempt from disclosure pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.1"
Ramos has declined comment on the report, but had told others involved in the case he planned to give a recommendation based on the report at Monday's meeting.
The board's next regular meeting is set for Aug. 22.
