Want to serve on the Moorestown Township Board of Education? The deadline to get your name on the ballot is fast approaching.
BOE President Don Mishler, Vice President Christina Zajac, and member Larry Friedman, are all set to see their Board terms expire in 2011, leaving three seats open for this year’s race.
