Daily News | In Ocean City, a new school board alarms the LGBTQ community and its allies
Nicoletti and her running mate, Catherine Panico, won three-year terms, along with local attorney Kevin Barnes. Robin Shaffer won a one-year seat.
But newly elected school board president Chris Halliday, an Ocean City architect and father of two children, ages 6 and 8, said he does not expect the issue to be raised again and is confident the district is implementing the state’s guidelines appropriately. “It’s been a little diffused,” he said of ongoing debates. “There’s been a lot discussions and apologies. We want to make sure our teachers feel supported.”The three new board members have been mentored by longtime area conservative Seth Grossman, who runs the Liberty & Prosperity Group and in 2018 narrowly lost an election to Rep. Jeff Van Drew, when Van Drew was a Democrat.
At the meeting in the high school library, the sides squared off in familiar fashion, and the discussion continued, to the point of exhaustion, on the Facebook group OCNJ School Discussion, administered by Shaffer.
