Glassboro is governed under the [[Borough (New Jersey)|Borough]] form of New Jersey municipal government. The governing body consists of a Mayor and a Borough Council comprising six council members, with all positions elected [[at-large]] on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. A Mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. The Borough Council consists of six members elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year in a three-year cycle.<ref name=DataBook>''2012 New Jersey Legislative District Data Book'', [[Rutgers University]] [[Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy]], March 2013, p. 24.</ref> The Borough form of government used by Glassboro, the most common system used in the state, is a "[[weak mayor]] / strong council" government in which council members act as the legislative body with the mayor presiding at meetings and voting only in the event of a tie. The mayor can [[veto]] ordinances subject to an [[veto override|override]] by a two-thirds majority vote of the council. The mayor makes committee and liaison assignments for council members, and most appointments are made by the mayor with the advice and consent of the council.<ref>Cerra, Michael F.

Government

Local government

Glassboro is governed under the Borough form of New Jersey municipal government. The governing body consists of a Mayor and a Borough Council comprising six council members, with all positions elected at-large on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. A Mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. The Borough Council consists of six members elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year in a three-year cycle.[4] The Borough form of government used by Glassboro, the most common system used in the state, is a "weak mayor / strong council" government in which council members act as the legislative body with the mayor presiding at meetings and voting only in the event of a tie. The mayor can veto ordinances subject to an override by a two-thirds majority vote of the council. The mayor makes committee and liaison assignments for council members, and most appointments are made by the mayor with the advice and consent of the council.[33][34]

As of 2015, the Mayor of Glassboro is Democrat Leo J. McCabe, whose term of office ends December 31, 2018.[35] Members of the Borough Council are Council President Tony Fiola (2015), Hector Cabezas (D, 2017), George Cossabone (2016), Joe D'Alessandro (D, 2017), Edward A. Malandro (2016), Anna Miller (D, 2015, serving an unexpired term).[36][37]

Anna Miller was appointed by the borough council in March 2013 from among three candidates offered by the municipal Democratic committee to fill the vacant seat of George Cossabone.[38][39])

Federal, state and county representation

Glassboro is located in the 1st Congressional District[40] and is part of New Jersey's 3rd state legislative district.[8][41][42] Prior to the 2011 reapportionment following the 2010 Census, Glassboro had been in the 4th state legislative district.[43]

For the 118th United States Congress, New Jersey's 1st congressional district is represented by Donald Norcross (D, Camden).[44][45] New Jersey is represented in the United States Senate by Democrat Cory Booker (Newark, term ends 2027)[46]. One seat is currently vacant after Senator Bob Menendez (Englewood Cliffs) resigned on August 20, 2024.[47][48][49]

For the 2024-2025 session, the 3rd legislative district of the New Jersey Legislature is represented in the State Senate by John Burzichelli (D, Paulsboro) and in the General Assembly by David Bailey (D, Woodstown) and Heather Simmons (D, Glassboro).[50] Template:NJ Governor

Gloucester County is governed by a board of county commissioners, whose seven members are elected at-large to three-year terms of office on a staggered basis in partisan elections, with either two or three seats coming up for election each year.

As of the 2011-12 school year, the district's five schools had an enrollment of 1,730 students and 179.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 9.66:1.[70] Schools in the district (with 2011-12 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics[71]) are Genesis Pre-School Program, J. Harvey Rodgers School[72] (354 students; grades PreK and kindergarten), Dorothy L. Bullock School[73] (361; 1-3), Thomas E. Bowe Elementary School[74] (335; 4-6), Glassboro Intermediate School[75] (NA; 7-8) and Glassboro High School[76] (498; 9-12).[77]

History

Glassboro's early history was built on the manufacturing of glass—the town was first established in 1779 by Solomon Stanger as "Glass Works in the Woods"; glass manufacturers over the years since include Heston-Carpenter Glass Works, Olive Glass Works, Harmony Glass Works, Temperanceville Glass Works, Whitney Brothers Glass Works, Owens Bottle Company, Owens Illinois Glass Company, and Anchor Hocking.[78]

The Glassboro Summit Conference between U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson and Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin took place in Glassboro. Johnson and Kosygin met for three days from June 23 to June 25, 1967, at Glassboro State College (later renamed Rowan University). The location was chosen as a compromise. Kosygin, having agreed to address the United Nations in New York City, wanted to meet in New York. Johnson, wary of encountering protests against the Vietnam War, preferred to meet in Washington, D.C. They agreed on Glassboro because it was equidistant between the two cities.[79] The generally amicable atmosphere of the summit was referred to as the "Spirit of Glassboro," although the leaders failed to reach agreement on limiting anti-ballistic missile systems.

On June 19, 1986, Ronald Reagan became the first sitting president to speak at a high school graduation when he spoke at the Glassboro High School commencement ceremonies.[80]

Passenger train service to Glassboro existed from 1860 to 1971. The station used by the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines is being renovated as visitors center.[84][85][86] The station is a planned terminal on the Glassboro–Camden Line, an 18-mile (28.97 km) diesel multiple unit (DMU) light rail system projected for completion in 2019.[87][88]
