Florence Township Board of Education
Thank you, Florence.
Unofficial results show Gavin Rozzi and Britney Ferdetta leading for two of the three open seats on the Florence Township Board of Education.
The county is still tallying write-ins and certifies the results on November 17, 2026. Until then, and after, this is where we'll share our own notes on the board's public meetings.

What We Want to Work On
We'll be two votes on a board of 9. These are the things we ran on and will bring to the table. They are not promises about what the board will decide.
Open the Books
The board already streams its meetings and posts its documents. We'd like to add to that: plain-English explanations, more two-way conversation with parents, staff and taxpayers, and big decisions shared early enough to weigh in. Our own notes on public meetings are our small part of that.
Support Our Educators
Teachers, aides, bus drivers and custodians keep our three schools running. Before we vote on something that affects staff, we want to hear how it looks from the classroom, the bus and the building, through the superintendent, the staff's representatives and public comment.
Opportunities for Every Child
Student achievement is job number one. That means clear reading and math goals, college and career readiness for a world changed by technology, kids kept safe online, and strong special education options here in town, with placement always decided by each child's IEP team.
Responsible Stewardship
Schools are about 59% of the property tax bill. Residents should see increases coming and understand why. And with the school funding formula being reworked, Florence's fair share of state aid matters.
