Six in Running for Four Board of Ed Seats

Six Montville Township residents have filed to run for four seats on the Board of Education up for vote in November.

There are three full three-year terms up for grabs, as well as an unexpired two-year term from board member Jon Alin's resignation.

The deadline for candidates to file was Tuesday afternoon.

According to a list posted by the Morris County Clerk's Office, five candidates are running for the trio of three-year seats, and one candidate is running unopposed for the two-year seat.

For the three-year seats, incumbents John Morella and Carmela Novi are running for re-election. Board member Thomas Mazzaccaro, who was appointed by the board to fill the seat left by Alin, also is seeking a full three-year term. And Diane Bordonaro and Michael O'Brien also are seeking three-year seats.

David Modrak is running for the unexpired two-year term.

Board member Jackie Ritschel did not file. The school board is comprised of nine members.
