Meet the New Superintendent Candidate - November 23rd
Please come to Hoboken High School on Tuesday, November 23rd between 1:30 PM and 2:30 PM, and again from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM. You will have an opportunity to meet the candidate and learn more about him. The Board has also advertised a Special Meeting on November 23rd at 7 PM to consider the appointment of a new Superintendent, contingent on Hudson County Executive Superintendent approval. This meeting will be held in the Board offices.
The search process began in June with the hiring of a specialized recruiting firm, who then reached out to the community, teachers and staff for their input during the search.
In October, the consultant presented approximately 50 potential applicants to the Board. After several weeks of interviews and a group visit, one finalist remains.
The Hoboken Board of Education is currently in contract negotiations and is awaiting approval from the Hudson County Executive Superintendent. For this reason, confidential information regarding the candidate cannot be shared at this time.
What can be shared is the thanks of the Board to everyone who took the time and worked so hard together on this important task.
Hoboken is an amazing City with a wonderful school district; it deserves nothing short of a stellar Superintendent, with proven experience, passion for public education and a positive vision of the future for all district students! Come join us on November 23rd at 1:30 PM or 4:30 PM ◦
