With the filing deadline now behind us, the community is starting to get a clearer picture of who may be on the ballot this November for the Hardyston Board of Education. While we still await the official certified slate, several candidate names have already surfaced - and one team in particular is generating interest.
Running together under the name “Derych, Dick & Stoll for Hardyston BOE,” the trio of Jaclyn Derych, Julia Dick, and Kelly Stoll has launched a public campaign to bring fresh leadership to the district.
We’re not diving into endorsements or deep bios just yet - there’s still plenty of time to learn more. But it’s encouraging to see candidates stepping forward transparently, engaging the community, and putting their names out there without hiding behind anonymous posts or backchannel whispers.
At a time when voters are asking whether we have the right people stepping up to lead, this slate at least offers a reason to stay optimistic.
More to come as the official slate is confirmed - and the campaign season begins in earnest.
