Editor's note: Richard
Elliott's statement was sent to local media shortly after the State
Department Of Education Year Three test score debacle was released to
the news media.

Central School Board
Member, Kinky Website Operator
Richard Ciullo |
Mr. Elliott is a
former Central Regional school board member who warned about the
inevitable effect of politicizing the school system through the
election of Republican Club officers who now dominate the school
boards in Berkeley Township.
Mr. Elliott presents a
strong case that greedy Republican patronage seekers have subverted
school board policies to the political and patronage needs of the
Berkeley Republican Club and the county GOP.
An example of the
Animal House atmosphere was the disgusting appearance on one of board
member Richard Ciullo's kinky websites of a sheep defecating on the
head of a former school board member who dared to criticize Ciullo.
Mr. Elliott's
Statement From The Ocean County Observer:
To the editor:
|
Dean
Wormer
|
The politics-infested Animal House
atmosphere at the Central Regional school board has led to the
inevitable trickle-down deterioration of educational performance, and
both Central Regional High School and Central Regional Middle School
have been placed on Year Three probation by the state Department of
Education.
School Officials
"Presented Inaccurate Picture"
There was some indication early this
year that probationary status was imminent, but school officials
presented an inaccurate picture of test scores to the public media
just as I predicted things would get worse long before they got
better.
It should come as no surprise to the
parents of Central Regional students that there are consequences from
the domination of the educational process by officers and leaders of
the Berkeley Republican greed club patronage and political reward
division:
Republican Club
Officers Politicized Process
Mr. & Mrs. Yezzi Were Prime Beneficiaries
Republican Club President Anthony
DiPaola, Republican Chairman Carmen Amato, Republican Vice President
Richard Ciullo, Director Robert Ray, treasurer Kevin Askew, director
Karen Davis are all school board members who have helped to politicize
the educational process.

Was Yezzi's $2
Million "the most wasteful spending in Berkeley history?" |
Among other political favors, these
folks handed Dover Township Republican District Committeeman Massimo
Yezzi nearly $2 million in no-bid contracts from the Berkeley schools,
and gave Yezzi’s wife a useless $70,000 job as “Assistant Business
Administrator” at Central Regional.
Climate Of Greed And
Hokum
The climate of greed and hokum,
especially since Ciullo joined the board about 16 months ago, has
become pervasive and intolerable.
It is no wonder that the bad examples
and gutter politics of Ciullo, Amato and other Republican Club school
board members have twisted the educational priorities in the eyes of
the students and the staff, and made many of them cynical and
marginally unfocused.
Probationary status from the state
Department of Education is the inevitable result.
Amato Is So Proud Of
His Central Regional
Achievements, He Is GOP Ward II Council Candidate
|
Carmen Amato: Was Central Regional Board President And "Poster Boy For
Political Payoff System" |
And just so residents of half the town
can ponder what to do next, they should know that Chairman Amato is so
proud of his achievements at Central Regional that he is a Republican
candidate for township council in Berkeley Ward II.
Davis, Who Helped Raise Taxes In
Berkeley Schools, Is CAndiate In Ward I
Republican Club
School Board Member
Karen Davis Is Council Candidate In Ward I.
The November council elections in Ward
I and Ward II will be a good chance to see if the public is agreeable
to being ripped off again by the Republican greed conspiracy – this
time in the township local government as well as the schools.
