Board approves superintendent's agenda including three personnel hires and wage details
Summary
At the meeting the board approved the superintendent's agenda, which included hiring Christine Garrett (part-time speech-language specialist, $34,500, IKEA grant-funded), Jessica Smith (teacher of students with disabilities, $15,500), and Francesca Paloro (elementary teacher, $57,500).
The Hazlet Township Public School District board voted to approve the superintendent's agenda, which included personnel recommendations for three hires and specific salary and effective-date details. Staff read the superintendent's recommendations into the record: Christine Garrett was listed as a part-time speech-language specialist at MA Step 1 with an annual salary of $34,500 effective Sept. 30, 2024, and the position was described as "IKEA grant funded." Jessica Smith was listed as a teacher of students with disabilities at MA Step 2 with an annual salary of $15,500 effective Sept. 16, 2024. Francesca Paloro was listed as an elementary teacher at MA Step 1 with an annual salary of $57,500 effective Nov. 1, 2024.
A motion to approve the superintendent's agenda was made and seconded and the presiding officer called for a roll call. The transcript records affirmative votes in the roll-call sequence; the superintendent's agenda was approved as presented.
Why it matters: Personnel approvals and salary steps affect staffing across the district and reflect funding sources (the record notes one hire funded by an "IKEA grant"). The hires clarify the district's staffing plan for coming months and the effective dates when the positions take effect.
Recorded actions: The personnel recommendations were included in the superintendent's agenda and approved by board action at this meeting.
