Bayonne residents convened at City Hall as the recently-elected council followed through on a campaign promise to make the Bayonne Board of Education accountable to voters.
In a unanimous vote, the council approved a resolution that will place a public question on the November ballot, giving voters the opportunity to switch the Bayonne Board of Education from appointed to elected.
Bayonne resident Leonard R. Kantor spoke to the council about the history of the board of education, while fellow resident Christos M. Genes suggested that potential-elections be held in November, rather than April, to save money and increase turnout.
