Intended as a forum for education discussion, Tuesday’s school community meeting took on the feel of a political roundtable as teacher topics sometimes turned into Democrat-Republican debates.
Hosted by Superintendent of Schools Daniel Fishbein and the Board of Education, the open session was meant to touch on education issues like teacher tenure reform, charter schools, vouchers and school funding and state aid. While useful comments and insight were offered to more than 100 residents in attendance, the guest speakers often used the “P” word.
“I don’t want to make this too political, but it really is political,” said Assemblyman David Russo (R-Midland Park) as he and Assemblyman Scott Rumana (R-Wayne) spent most of the meeting tackling the tenure reform debate.
