On Tuesday, October 24, the Verona Conference of SCAs will hold a forum for the two candidates running in the November 7 Board of Education election. There is one seat up for election.
Lisa Freschi, the BOE’s current vice president, is seeking a second term. A 19-year Verona resident who had three children graduate from Verona public schools, Freschi had leadership positions on SCAs at all school levels and worked in district as a paraprofessional for seven years. Her challenger is Connor McCann, a 2015 graduate of Verona High School who is a junior at Montclair State University majoring in political science. He is a member of both the Verona Fire Department and Rescue Squad, and works part-time for Verona’s Department of Public Works.
The Candidate’s Forum will take place from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Verona High School Learning Commons. The public is welcome to attend and will have the opportunity to ask questions.
