Meet the Candidates (Washington Township Board of Education)

Welcome to Meet the Candidates event for the Washington Township Board of Education! This is your chance to get to know the individuals running for the board and hear their thoughts on education in our community. Join us at the Washington Township Senior Center to ask questions, share your concerns, and learn more about the candidates' visions for the future. Your voice matters, so come out to help yourself make an informed decision on election day! We look forward to seeing you there!

Our refreshments and materials for this event are being sponsored by GCEA, WTSSSPA & WTEA.

Come out for an intimate, informal meet and greet with our Board of Education candidates. Community members will take turns visiting each candidate’s table to get to know each other better.

📝Each candidate was sent a survey to fill out (Monday, August 25th evening). Packets (digital and paper) of the responses will be compiled and made available for easy reference.
