Dear Editor:
For the last several years I have observed the Jersey City Board of Education with great interest particularly due to our growing population and the need to provide for the children of the next generation
In that regard I have come to the conclusion that a trio of candidates running for the school board are highly qualified to guide the board in the coming years. That trio is running as the “Children First Team” and is comprised of Lorenzo Richardson (H1), Gina Verdibello (H5) and Gerald Lyons (H7). Repeatedly this group has demonstrated their ability to put children first in their pursuit of updated facilities, more books, safer and greener schools with more playgrounds. This group regularly attends all Board of Education meetings and I have personally observed their informed and thoughtful remarks. It would serve Jersey City and its children well to elect Richardson, Verdibello and Lyons to the Jersey City Board of Education on November 4th.
Sincerely,
Charles Balcer
