Absecon School Board Candidate(3 year term) {_getChooseLabel(this.selections.length)}

A school board member serves a three-year term elected on a staggered basis as part of the November general election. The school board represents the concerns of citizens, taxpayers and parents to the school administrators, and represents the needs of the students and school district to citizens, taxpayers and parents. The school board does not operate the district on a day-to-day basis; that is the job of the superintendent (the district’s chief executive). Rather, the school board sets policies, goals and objectives for the district, and holds the superintendent responsible for implementing those policies and goals. School board members are elected on a non partisan basis and receive no pay or benefits for their public service. (Abridged from NJ School Boards Association website
