Vote No Conflicts For Lacey BOE Nov. 5: LTE

This November 5th, the taxpayers in Lacey Township have a very big decision to make.

And they have the power to make historic change.

67% of property taxes are going directly to the school district. The current tax levy for 4000 students is $48,322,737. This means taxpayers kick in approximately $12,000 per student just from the local tax levy.

The total budget for the PreK-12 District is over $77 million dollars.
Annual debt service payments total over $3.7 million dollars right off the top.

Almost 82% of the budget is for salaries, benefits and other contractual obligations.

In 2009, the Lacey School District had approximately 5,100 students.
Current enrollment in 2019 now hovers at approximately 4000.

With the tax levy constantly escalating, and enrollment declining, it is essential for the citizens to take control of their school taxes. There is a 28 year incumbent candidate with conflicts, and another with lifetime connections to employees. They do not have the ability to act impartially. It’s human nature.

The school board needs new blood and more parents on the Board.

The NJ Citizens for Property Tax Reform and I have decided to support Sonia Marchitello, Gavin Rozzi and Sal Armato for Lacey Township Board of Education. Team 1-4-7.

These 3 candidates have no relatives working for the District and no conflicts. Ms. Marchitello has 2 children in Lacey schools and Mr. Armato has 3 children currently in Lacey schools. Mr. Rozzi is a 2015 “top of the class” graduate of Lacey High School. Visit their Facebook page for more information.

On November 5th, please make your voice heard. Go to the polls and vote Column “D” candidates 1-4-7. There’s no room for politics in education!

Thank you.
