Strike 3 against Gloucester Township Board of Education

Strike 1: Just a month out, the parents of Ann Mullen still are not getting a straight answer on mold growing in the building.
Strike 2: Last Friday, Michelle Obama's new lunch program was instituted into the school cafeterias with out so much of a word uttered to the parents of the new change, creating children not eating a full meal and being told to buy food that goes against allergy restrictions for some students.... all on the food program's first day.
Strike 3: Now, today, it has come to light that the middle school language arts (English) curriculum has been completely pulled out leaving teachers with nothing to teach. Why?...because the new curriculum was deemed not appropriate to be taught in the classrooms.  
With all due respect, elections are tomorrow, 3 seats in the board is up for reelection. Not one board member has proved to me they deserved to continue serving the parents and children of Gloucester Township. I challenge the Gloucester Township Board of Education to step up and take some responsibility and explain what is going on in our schools before the polls open tomorrow.
