6 Candidates Running For 3 Seats on Harrison BOE

All three open seats on the will be won through a contested race on May 17, as six candidates have announced their intention to run for a seat on the board.

All three board of education trustees with expiring terms will run for re-election. Paul Curtis will look to retain his seat against Joseph Magnus, Robert Piliero will run against incumbent Philip Silano and incumbent David Singer will run against Matthew Joseph.

In accordance with Harrison's election process candidates will run directly against each other, meaning voters will choose a candidate for each open seat rather than picking any three candidates. This method creates three separate races between two candidates this year.

Harrison's seven board of education trustees are elected to three-year terms. Last year  to fill Robert Amato's open seat on the board, while Abby Mendelsohn won her seat unopposed.

Voting will take place on May 17. Registered voters will also choose whether or not to accept the board's . That budget plan includes a increase and eliminates 24 positions within the district.

We will have more in-depth comparisons between the candidates later this week.
