The New Jersey school board whose vice president is embroiled in a vile group texting scandal that allegedly targeted a MAGA-loving mom member has postponed its next meeting over “safety” concerns.

Marlboro Board of Education President Brian Cohen moved to delay the group’s next scheduled meeting, which had been set for Nov. 11, citing unspecified “safety and security” issues.

Other members of the school board objected to the postponement, The Post has learned.

Parents, meanwhile, plan to peacefully protest, and have been organizing on social media.

The decision comes little more than a week after the board’s last meeting — a raucous, six-hour affair where parent after parent demanded two members, including Vice President Chad Hyett, resign for their alleged involvement in a hateful group chat about fellow board member Danielle Bellomo.

The chat, labeled “ThisBitchNeedstoDie,” included a misogynistic text message about Bellomo from board candidate Scott Semaya, who quickly dropped out of the race when the message became public.

“Bellomo must be cold — her nips could cut glass right n” read one text, allegedly captured in a photo of Semaya’s screen as he typed an “o.”

Mitesh Gandhi, the husband of a sitting board member Aditi Gandhi, also allegedly took part in the chat.

The boorish messages garnered nationwide attention after being exposed by The Post, even outraging Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tx) who called it “wrong” and “evil” in a post on X.

One parent suggested on Facebook that the decision to nix the meeting was made because “the board President, Vice President and District Superintendent are ashamed of something” or “afraid of legitimate community concerns.”

“This is getting worse and worse,” offered another parent.

Marlboro Police said Friday they are still investigating the alleged threats against Bellomo.
