Thank You, Florence. Here Is What Happens Next.

By Gavin Rozzi and Britney Ferdetta ·

Unofficial results from the November 3, 2026 election show the two of us leading for two of the three open seats on the Florence Township Board of Education. Nobody's name was printed on the ballot for this office, so every one of those votes was a write-in. Thank you to every neighbor who took the time to do that.

The results are not official yet

Write-in votes are counted separately, and the county is still tallying them. The Burlington County Board of Elections certifies the results on November 17, 2026. We will update this page when that happens.

Between now and January

  • Background checks. New Jersey requires every newly elected board member to complete a criminal history background check within 30 days of certification. We will complete ours on that schedule.
  • The oath. 3-year terms for the new members begin January 1, 2027, with the oath at the board's organization meeting in the first week of January.
  • Training and disclosures. Within our first 90 days, New Jersey School Boards Association training required of every new member, and ethics disclosure statements within 30 days of the oath.

What this site is for

Until January we are residents, not board members. After January we will be two of 9. Either way, this is our campaign website, not an official one. It does not speak for the board or the school district. Board decisions belong to the full board, made in public meetings, and the official agendas and minutes are on the district website.

What you will find here: our own short, plain-English notes on what happened in public session, with links to the official record, and our own explanation of how we voted and why. We will not write about confidential matters such as students, personnel, negotiations or legal matters. Those stay out of public discussion for good reason.

If you want those notes in your inbox, you can follow along here. If you have a question or a concern about the schools, our page on how to be heard explains the fastest routes, including the ones that don't go through us.

We are grateful, and we are ready to get to work with the rest of the board.

Gavin and Britney
