January is School Board Recognition Month in New Jersey, which the Gloucester City Board of Education (BOE) noted during last week’s meeting.

Superintendent Paul Spaventa read the proclamation resolving \”that the Gloucester City Board of Education, does hereby recognize the services of local school board members throughout New Jersey as we join communities statewide in observing January 2011 as School Board Recognition Month;

(Camden, NJ) – Former 2010 Republican candidate for Camden County Freeholder Scot DeCristofaro joined the call for a public safety solution and calls for a broad sweep of resignation as poor policy, planning and political leadership and management cumulates in a catastrophic decision to layoff police officers and firefighters first.

\”Given the economy has been in a perilous condition for more than 20 months this day was bound to come, \”Scot DeCristofaro said. \”For Mayor Redd and the Camden County Freeholders, which has controlled all seven seats for nearly two decades, to lay the woes of Camden at the feet at anybody other than their own is reprehensible. These layoffs are a direct result of inept leadership, and as a result, it put the citizens of camden City and County and its public servants in uniform in a most dangerous position. This decision to \”layoff first\” was completely avoidable.
