"Our commitment to the children, parents, and taxpayers of Middletown remains steadfast in our approach to moving our district forward," said Capone.

The Putting Children First team pledges to continue to put the interests of students, parents, and taxpayers first.  

“We have a district of administrators and educators committed to excellence. Together we can continue to collaborate to take this district to the next level," said Tobacco. “Our track record for parental involvement and child advocacy is second to none in the state of New Jersey.  There is much more work to be done, and the addition of Caterina to the board would go a long way towards ensuring those goals.”

A fixture at Board meetings, Skalaski has been a vocal advocate for parental rights and has appeared on several state and national news outlets advocating for parental rights.  

"We are living in a time where Governor Murphy and his administration continue to diminish the rights and roles of parents through mandates and executive orders,” said Skalaski. “Governor Murphy is not the parent of my children or any child in the Middletown school district, and I will fight hard to ensure he understands his role as well as our role as parents."

President Capone added, "The amount of support we have already has been absolutely incredible, and we are looking forward to meeting parents and taxpayers over the next few months to share our vision for the district.”
