Board hires interim athletic director Ken Mason; approves certificated appointments
Summary
The board voted to hire Ken Mason as interim athletic director for the period between Dr. Yuzaki’s departure and the incoming athletic director’s start in early October and approved two certificated appointments in separate roll‑call votes.
The Northern Burlington County Regional School District board approved the appointment of Ken Mason as interim athletic director and passed two certificated‑appointment items during its Aug. 11 meeting.
Superintendent Dr. Zuckerman recommended Mr. Ken Mason for the short interim role, saying Mason "has over 24 years of experience as an athletic director, and I believe will do exactly what we're looking for." He described the hire as a transition between the outgoing director, Dr. Yuzaki, and the incoming athletic director (named in the meeting as Mr. Corigliano), and said the interim period would be for just over five weeks to cover opening‑of‑school activities.
The board approved the interim appointment (agenda item 9.19) by roll call. The roll call recorded affirmative votes from: Mister Figgs (yes); Missus Bond (yes); Missus Applegate (yes); Mister Armamente (yes); Mister Bucks (yes); Mister Norwood (yes); Miss Janice (yes); Mister Spence (yes); and Mister Zimmer (yes). The motion "passes," according to the vote announcement at the meeting.
Administrators said the interim will be paid on a per‑diem basis rather than full salary; the district described the rate as a reduced per‑diem amount rather than a full salary. The superintendent said the interim will support tryouts, season starts and the administrative transition and will submit time sheets for days worked.
Separately, the board approved another certificated appointment (agenda item 9.2) by roll call; the meeting transcript records that motion also passed with affirmative votes from the same roster of board members.
