If you think change is needed in Plainfield's school district, whether how it is governed or how it is managed, you need to vote in today's Board of Ed election and budget referendum.
The polls are open from 2:00 - 9:00 PM at your usual polling place.
Don't forget the budget question (see more details here), on which I am recommending a 'YES' vote.
CHRISTIAN ESTEVEZ (# 3), the only incumbent running for re-election who has actually succeeded in doing something about executing his committee responsibilities (Policy) is getting my vote, despite having made an ill-advised vote -- in my book -- in the personnel mess.
MARY BURGWINKLE (# 8), a straight-arrow and experienced attorney who will sink her teeth into issues like a bulldog should scare the bejesus out of anyone -- Board or Administration -- that thinks go-along, get-along should be the rule, and she gets my vote, too.
CARMENCITA PILE (# 11), who is preparing to enter five children she is adopting into the schools system, gets my vote; DENISE RILEY (# 14) would also be a worthy 1-year Board member.
As for the other three-year seat, I will be deciding between DANI FLETCHER (# 7), JACKIE CALLANDS (# 5) and RASHEED ABDUL-HAQQ (# 10).
Whomever you decide to vote for today, you know who to blame if you DO NOT VOTE.
