BoE candidates Hoboken Proud: Meet them! Greet them! TONIGHT!

Have you met them? Not yet???

What the heck are you waiting for!

Tonight, BoE President Tom Kluepfel and his lovely wife Lynn are hosting a Meet and Greet for you and your neighbors to see why these three candidates deserve your vote on November 7th!

Let's recap, from their September press release:

The candidates, are longtime residents, active-volunteers and parents of Hoboken Public School District students, said they have the required energy, knowledge, commitment and ability to serve the Board. 

“It’s with much excitement that we ask for your vote and support at the Hoboken Board of Education election,” said Melanie Tekirian.  “As parents, we can speak first-hand about the many great things happening across the district and are passionate about further enhancing Hoboken public schools.”

Hoboken Proud said it would work constructively with the Administration to serve the diverse needs of all students and develop a stronger relationship between the district and the public it serves.

“Our goal is that our elementary and middle schools be urban schools of excellence and Hoboken High School to be our communities’ No.1 choice for grades 9-12,” said Chetali Khanna. “We believe that quality education is the result of strong leadership and high quality educators.”

Active school volunteers through the K-12 theater program and school PTO efforts, Melanie Tekirian and Chetali Khanna, join Sharyn Angley on the Hoboken Proud 5-6-7 slate.

“I am very excited to be running with Melanie and Chetali,” said Sharyn Angley, who has served on the board for the past three years. “Together, we believe that strong schools and a strong community go hand-in-hand. Strong schools bring pride and value to our community. And community support will help our schools continue to thrive.” 

“We bring an important understanding and valuable talents from our professional and educational experiences that will benefit the board of education’s oversight responsibilities, and help deliver greater opportunities to our district’s children.”

So what do you think?  Now, if you want to ask these candidates for specifics,  such as how they propose to continue the progress our district has made since 2009 when Reform took the helm,  be at Tom and Lynn's place tonight between 7-9 PM!

Please note, this event is "Adults Only." No, Tom will not appear topless or pole-dance; this event is strictly G-rated, but your kiddies are much better off at home doing their homework!
