Thank You
I’d like to say a heartfelt “thank you” to the Berkeley Heights community for your support. The fact that so many people turned out and voted in a contest that was seemingly a done deal means so much to me. The message of Education First! underpinned by transparency and accountability truly resonated with many. As a board member, I will...
Thank You, Berkeley Heights
I am overwhelmed and humbled by the support I received over the past three years. It has not been an easy journey for many parents who have been vocal about change. I am grateful beyond any measure for the number of people who came to the polls in support of change. Words cannot adequately describe how Berkeley Heights united for...
What The New Berkeley Heights BOE Must Do In The First Three Months of 2024 To Rebuild Our District
A historically low turnout election still produced 2000+ votes, affirming change…..now what? While the BOE election was uncontested, the message was clear- the community wants things to change. While thousands were likely spent on the Town Council Election (something we will write about), it would be a surprise if the BOE candidates who garnered an overwhelming vote count given the...
Illis/Machado Take Council, Joly/Akiri take BOE
It appears, based on the tickets we’ve seen, there was a “behind the scenes” write in campaign to take votes away from Sai (two names consistently came up). It doesn’t appear to amount to much at all so far but I guess just enough to give her a lower count and maybe float a behind the scenes network strategy for...

Sai and Natasha – The Informed, Assertive Leaders We Need on the Berkeley Heights Board of Education
-Amy Peterson I completely agree with many others who have written about the lack of civility many of our elected representatives on the BOE have shown to parents and other Board Members trying to correct the issues our District is facing. Sai and Natasha have a strong history of having direct discussions with the Board and community members that are...
Where Berkeley Heights Votes Tomorrow
TODAY, November 7th 2023, Berkeley Heights will go to the polls. Currently there are Four Candidates seeking to fill Two Seats on the Town Council and Two Candidates Seeking to Fill Two Seats on the Berkeley Heights Board of Education. After months of Campaigning, they ALL deserve a proper decision from our Community. Polls will be open from 6:00am to...
Endorsement for Natasha Joly
This year, for BOE, I am supporting Natasha Joly. She is a fantastic human being as she has an ability to bring opposition together in a productive way. This is a need on our BOE. When Natasha speaks at BOE meetings (and in personal conversation) she is concise in her language and authoritative without being aggressive. Her candor gives us...
