George Song is running for
re-election to the Paramus Board of Education to continue delivering academic excellence, fiscal responsibility, and safe, supportive schools.

MEET GEORGE

I'm George Song - a proud Paramus resident, husband, father, and current member of the Paramus Board of Education. For the past three years, I’ve worked hard to serve our students, families, and schools with integrity, transparency, and a deep commitment to doing what’s right.

As a parent, I understand the importance of strong academics, safe learning environments, and responsible spending. As a public servant, I bring a hands-on, no-nonsense approach to decision-making, asking tough questions, challenging waste, and always putting our students first.

Outside of the board, I serve our community as a volunteer firefighter and special law enforcement officer. I believe in giving back, showing up, and standing up for what matters.

I’m running for re-election because I believe in the future of Paramus, and I’m ready to keep working hard to protect and strengthen our schools.
