Red Bank Board of Ed President Carrie Ludwikowski has resigned as her family prepares for a move to North Carolina, she tells redbankgreen. The 13-year borough resident served on the board for nine years, and has been president since January.
The board plans to interview interested applicants for the vacant seat and appoint a successor; residents interested in serving should contact the board office.
In addition, three seats are up for grabs in the November election. (Photo by John T. Ward. Click to enlarge)

If there was a hot seat at the Red Bank Board of Education candidate’s night Thursday, Michael Clancy was in it.
The 33-year-old former offensive lineman at Rutgers was on the defensive at several points during the 90-minute event, pressed to explain his decision to stay in the race even though, according to one opponent, he wouldn’t be able to recite a truthful the oath of office should he be elected November 3.

One of three candidates on a Republican-recruited slate for the Red Bank school board tells redbankgreen he wants nothing to do with party, whose officials he calls “a bunch of liars, gangsters and thieves.”
Irwin Katz said he was talked into running without any mention of the GOP’s involvement, which he said he resents in a race that he believes should be non-partisan. But now that he’s on the November 3 ballot, he’ll stand as an independent, as intended, he said Wednesday.
“I’m going forward, for hell or high water,” Katz said. “Now my Irish is up.”

One of six candidates on the ballot in this year’s Red Bank Board of Education election apparently doesn’t belong there.
Mike Clancy acknowledged to redbankgreen that he hasn’t lived in town for a year, as required by law — and said he didn’t know he had to.
