As Councilman Spinelli stepped down from his term early, the Borough Council, after considering three candidates by the Woodland Park Democratic Committee, selected Adam Chaabane to finish out the term, which ends on Dec. 31.

Adam has served our Borough for the last four years on the Woodland Park Board of Education. A Borough resident since 1996, he and his wife Mariem have two children, daughter Amira and son Karim.

As chair of the Board of Education Buildings and Grounds Committee, he led initiatives to install air conditioning in all district classrooms and renovate Memorial School's gym and bleachers.
