Vineland, NJ—The ballots are counted and the polls are closed. Vineland’s new Board of Education members will be Inez Acosta, 51, Christopher E. Jennings, 51, Jeffrey M. Bordley, 34 and Faustino John Sbrana, 65, for an unexpired one-year term
On Nov. 3 Vineland residents went to the polls to pick from seven candidates for four open Board of Education spots. Acosta and Jennings were the only incumbent to run alongside new candidates Bordley, Cedric Holmes, 18, and Xavier Cardona,18.
Meanwhile, the one-year unexpired term was battled out between Donald Anthony Carter Jr., 18, and Sbrana.
All seven were featured on The Daily Journal’s “Meet the candidates” with questions and background information. Each candidate had the opportunity to list their priorities when improving education. Here are brief excerpts from the winners of today's election.
Inez: “My priority is ensuring that all children are learning and growing by taking a holistic approach to education.”
Bordley: “First, my priority is always the safety of our children and the staff. Too often in the past several years, our schools across the country have been scarred by violence.”
Jennings: “Right away, these three things come to mind are; safety, comfort and execution. Our schools need to be a safe environment for our children and staff. With safety comes comfort.”
Sbrana: “To compete in the global economy, our children need strong 21st century skills in digital literacy, communication, collaboration, critical and creative thinking while providing access to the most advanced technology.”
The Vineland Education Association endorsed Acosta, Bordley, and Sbrana during their campaigns. And all three secured seats on the Board of Education.
Cardona, Holmes, and Carter ran as a team with the slogan “Revitalizing Vineland’s Education.” All three 18-year-olds campaigning together were defeated at the polls.
“Even though we were not elected to the VBOE, we still made a huge impact and that's what really matters,” said their joint Facebook page.
Sbrana, executive director of communications at Vineland Public Schools, took to Facebook too to celebrate his victory, “I will do my best to serve with honesty, integrity and a spirit of cooperation and consensus building.”
“I look forward to moving forward and helping our children's future be great!” said Bordley, a police officer of 14 years, on his Facebook page.
