As Bloomfield residents prepare to head to the polls on November 7th, six-year Board of Education veteran Nadeisha Greene is campaigning for a third term. Running on the “Students Parents Community” platform alongside slate mates Kasey Dudley and Stephanie Parry, Greene is seeking another three-year term to continue advancing district policy and educational initiatives.
Born in St. Vincent, Greene spent her early childhood in Arnos Vale before moving at age ten, and she has resided in Bloomfield for the past nine years. She and her husband have two sons who attend Demarest Elementary School in the third and fifth grades.
Professionally, Greene serves as Director of Operations at a charter school, managing operational systems, purchasing, finance, event planning, NJDOE compliance, facilities, technology, safety, and recruitment for over 300 students.
With 13 years of professional experience in elementary education, she has also completed over 40 hours of New Jersey School Board Association (NJSBA) training.
During her six years on the board, Greene chaired the committee responsible for crafting Bloomfield’s 2023–2028 Strategic Plan, developed with input from faculty and community members. Her leadership roles include serving on the hiring committee for principal searches at Demarest and Oakview Elementary Schools, helping plan Bloomfield’s inaugural Juneteenth Celebration, and serving as the board representative to the Oak View and Carteret Home School Associations (HSAs).
She currently serves on the Finance and Facilities Committee and acts as liaison to the Township of Bloomfield’s Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs Advisory Committee, having previously served on the Personnel, Community Outreach, Budget, and Technology Committees.
Greene pointed to the district’s recognition as a “High Performing District” by the New Jersey Department of Education as a major achievement reflecting the dedication of educators, staff, and families. She also highlighted community-building academic initiatives such as “One District One Book,” which encourages literacy across Bloomfield schools.
Looking ahead to a potential third term, Greene outlined several key priorities aimed at continuous improvement and closing the achievement gap:
Addressing Unfinished Learning: Expanding academic support through programs like the Backstop after-school and summer school initiatives.
Diversifying Staff & Leadership: Building upon the recent hiring of two principals of color by expanding recruiting efforts at local college and university career fairs.
Post-Secondary Preparation: Strengthening district partnerships with colleges and universities to prepare students for critical thinking and higher education.
Equity & Inclusion: Ensuring all students have access to a diverse, equitable, and rigorous learning environment.
“I am eager to continue our work and serve another three-year term,” Greene stated, reaffirming her dedication to working alongside administrators, fellow board members, and residents to move Bloomfield schools forward.
