Another Proponent for November School Board Elections

The Press of Atlantic City advocates moving school board elections to November. Their editorial today takes on the specious argument that November elections would politicize the process:

The issue of moving school elections to November has been around for years. Former Gov. Christie Whitman proposed it back in 1996. If anything, it is a sign of the political clout of the New Jersey Education Association and the New Jersey School Boards Association that the April vote has hung on so long. Maybe the real question is who has the most political clout, special-interest groups or the voting public.
