According to NJSBA regulations, in order to recall a board member, a group must establish a recall committee and file a notice of intention with the board secretary. That committee has to have a petition signed by 25 percent of the vot ers who voted in the district’s most re cent election. A majority vote then must be attained in the next district election. The recent actions and public statements by the board of education members and superintendent indicate neither deserve of a vote of confidence from students, staff, teachers, administrators, parents, community members and the citizens of Plainfield. We are initiating a writing campaign to the current State Board of Education members listed below as we begin to take back our schools. Please send a letter to the state representatives [listed below] voicing your concerns about the state of education in the city of Plainfield.

The current board agenda reflects, as a recommendation in the state mandated correction plan, the addition of Borge and Kelly to positions that their certificates allow. This is an act of egregiousness that must be challenged by all thinking people. Mr. Gallon is not acting in the best interest of the students and we demand his immediate termination as he is only concerned with continuing his decadent rule of oppression.
