“I am honored to have two great running mates with a lot to offer to the Keansburg Board of Education. The last few years have been difficult due to budget cuts from the state, but we are looking forward to a great 2021 school year of in-person classes for our students. Keansburg is on the rise, and I am proud to help lead the change in my hometown,” said Keansburg Board of Education member Matt Kitchen.
“As a lifelong resident of Keansburg, the Keansburg school system gave me the skills and education to succeed in life. Now, as a board member, I am proud to return the favor to future generations. With the new addition being built at the Port Monmouth Road School, our district will be improving the education of our future generations.” said Keansburg Board of Education member Greg Siciliano.
“I am excited to be joining the Responsible Leadership and Fighting for Success team. With two children in the school district, I have seen firsthand the work Matt and Greg have put into making our school system better for all of our students. I am excited to get to work and show the voters how we are going to move the Keansburg school system forward”, said Tarin Varvar.
