Book banning – KADAKIA + COHEN + CORRARO

We are deeply grateful for the trust and support you’ve shown in this election. On behalf of Brian and myself, we’re honored to serve the community as part of a Board committed to educational excellence for our students. Together, we can build a strong foundation rooted in transparency, accountability, and a shared vision for our schools. We’ve already reached out to the Board and district leadership to start building that partnership! We look forward to working with the continuing board members, including Danielle Bellomo, following her successful election last night.

We also look forward to working closely with our community and families, exploring new ways to foster positive, productive relationships with everyone who cares so deeply about our children’s future.

Lastly, Brian and I are saddened that Nirav won’t be joining us on this journey next year, but we’ll carry forward his commitment and vision in our work. We’re encouraged by his dedication to the success of all Marlboro students. Thank you, Nirav, for being such a driving force in the Partners Improving Education campaign.

Book banning

August 1, 2024

The question from our community:

What is your position on book banning?

Book banning is one of the most common forms of censorship. If there are any concerns about materials available to students as they may not be age appropriate or contain pornographic material, it’s important for the Board, educators, and parents to come together to review the content and make sound decisions. With that said, we are unaware of any such material in our school libraries that need to be evaluated. Nor are we aware of any action the current Board has taken to establish criteria to guide our schools on this issue. This signals to us that our librarians are doing the job we have entrusted to them.
