Moorestown School Board Candidates Set For Virtual Forum Oct. 18

MOORESTOWN, NJ — Moorestown's Home & School organization will host a candidates' forum for the six candidates seeking three open seats on the Moorestown Public School District Board of Education.

The forum will take place virtually via Zoom at 7 p.m. Oct. 18. MooreUnity will be moderating the event, as they have for the past several years. Although Board of Education elections are non-partisan, MooreUnity volunteers who read and prioritize the questions will be made up of an equal number of Democrats and Republicans.

Voters are asked to submit questions in advance to mooreunitynj@gmail.com no later than Oct. 12.
As questions come in, MooreUnity will work with a statistician to prioritize them based upon the most common themes.

To join the event on Oct.18, log into this Zoom event. https://mtps.zoom.us/j/86039487912?pwd=TmtoaXlLUERPam42bTBxVVpZejB3dz09&fbclid=IwAR043afGLMDslA-eYQZ1S44BiBwC_Xn2Nntnk1iZ-ePFsw1dfPLJm-KqLRY#success. The passcode is 980328.

The forum will be recorded for anyone who can’t watch it live.

Six candidates will pursue three open seats on the Moorestown Public School District Board of Education in November, and none of them are incumbents. Board of Education President Caryn Shaw and Board Member David Weinstein are both up for re-election, but neither decided to run for re-election.

Alexandria Law was also up for re-election, but she resigned from the board earlier this year due to personal reasons. Katherine Mullin was appointed to her seat. Mullin is not one of the candidates pursuing the three open seats. The following candidates are running in the Nov. 2 elections:

• Jill Fallows Macaluso (Children First)
• Joseph Horwitz
• David Vosbikian
• Cheryl Makopoulos (We're Better Together)
• Melissa Arcaro Burns
• Billie Danielle Thomas (Unifying, Respectful Leadership)

Election Day is Nov. 2.
