Political stranglehold in Prospect Park: BOE member ends term with parting shot at mayor Philip DeVencentis, NorthJersey.com
PROSPECT PARK An outgoing member of the Board of Education unpacked three years of frustration in the closing moments of his last public meeting by telling viewers on Zoom that his fellow trustees had sold their souls to the mayor.
Trustee Frank Caraccio, 55, whose term ended on Thursday, also expressed guilt for leaving the K-8 district in the care of such a dysfunctional and inept school board.
Caraccio made similar sentiments in the past. At one point in his term, he filed a batch of ethics complaints against other trustees for allegedly firing certain professionals for no apparent reason before replacing them with allies of Mayor Mohamed Khairullah.
