NUTLEY A parents group is looking to recall the Board of Education president, saying they are fighting for their children s constitutional right to an education.
The group, comprising more than 250 parents, filed a letter of intent with the Essex County Clerk s Office to recall school board President Charles Kucinski.
Laure Del Tufo, a member of the advocacy group, said they felt that had no other choice than to recall Kucinski after months of pleading, petitions and rallies on behalf of their children. It was clear to us that Mr. Kucinski hasn’t demonstrated the capability or desire to do everything possible to reopen the schools for our children, Del Tufo said.

N.J. district offering full-day kindergarten, but you’ll need a lottery ticket and $7K to get in
Updated Feb 15, 2021;
A Morris County school district is reviving its tuition-based, full-day kindergarten program in September after it stalled for a year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The School District of the Chathams is doling out by lottery up to 60 slots with a tuition rate of $7,000 per student, according its website.
Full-day kindergarten debuted in the K-12 district in the 2019-20 school year, also on a tuition basis, Schools Superintendent Michael LaSusa said. Prorated refunds were provided to parents last year after all New Jersey schools closed in March 2020, for the remainder of the school year, due to the pandemic.
