You Can Apply To Join The Marlboro Board Of Education

MARLBORO, NJ — After a resignation from the Board of Education last month, the district is now accepting applications from residents to fill the spot, according to the district business administrator.

Business Administrator/Board Secretary Vincent Caravello said interested candidates should submit a cover letter and resume to him by the close of business Sept. 15.

The board will publicly interview candidates at the Sept. 26 regular meeting and expects to make an appointment that evening, he said.

Board President Kathleen Amster resigned from the board last month for personal reasons, he said. She most recently was a candidate in 2021 for the school board.

The appointed member will complete the balance of her term that runs to early January 2025, Caravello said.

"The Board thanks Mrs. Amster for her service and tireless commitment to improving the District for the betterment of the children of Marlboro," the statement from the district said.

Marlboro has nine members on its Board of Education. Members are elected to three-year terms and normally three seats are up for election each fall. The board selects a president and vice-president. Christina Russotto is now the board president, according to the district website.
