Jo Ann Magistro announced her retirement in September.
Jo Ann Magistro Came to the East Brunswick School District in 1971 as a guidance counselor. Since then, she has worked her way through the district to superintendent and seen, what she says, a highly competitive and motivated community come together to create one of the best school systems in the area. “In 1971 this was an extraordinary district with high expectations," she said. “In 2012-2013, it is still an extraordinary district.

If you don't mind, I'll weigh in now as to why this debate is being held on the same night as the Presidential debate? I'm sure the EB debate will be taped, and can be viewed at later times, but still, wouldn't our local participants rather be seeing the national debate?
