VTEA plans Meet the Candidates Night

VERNON — The Vernon Township Education Association is sponsoring a Meet the Candidates Night on Monday, Oct. 19, at 7 p.m. at Vernon Township High School, Route 515, Vernon.

The voting public will get to hear the views and objectives from each of the candidates running for the available positions on the Vernon Township Board of Education. The invited candidates are Robert Hughes, William Higgins, Justine VanBlarcom, Theresa Scura Coughlin, and Brad Sparta.

Each candidate will have the opportunity to give a two minute presentation in which they will be able to introduce themselves to the public. Afterward, each candidate will then be asked three questions by the evening’s moderator, VTEA Vice President, Nicholas Demsak, relating to a range of local, state and national educationally relevant topics.

The candidates will have two minutes to respond to each of the questions. There will be no open Question and Answer session or debate between candidates.
