  • The West Essex Regional Board of Education on February 13, 2012 approved a resolution that moves the school election from April to the November general election. On January 17, 2012, Gov. Chris Christie signed into law Senate Bill 3148, which gives communities the option of moving the school elections from April to the November general election. The move places school board candidates on the November ballot, but eliminates the annual vote on proposed school budgets that are at or below the state's two percent tax levy cap.
    Members of the school board whose terms would have expired after the April 2012 election will continue to serve until the board's reorganization meeting, which will be held the first week in January 2012. School board races will remain non-partisan, and candidate's names will appear on a separate section of the November ballot. The change in the school election date will remain in effect at least through November, 2015, after which the community has the option of changing back to April. School board candidates will be required to submit a nominating petition  to the County Clerk by June 5, 2012.
