Summary

The board accepted letters of intent to retire from five longtime staff members and, after an executive session, voted to terminate employee #2043 effective 03/18/2025; retirements and the termination were approved by roll-call votes.

The Galloway Township Public School District board on March 17 accepted letters of intent to retire from five staff members and later, following an executive session, authorized the termination of an employee whose personnel number is 2043.

The retirements accepted were for: Christine Burgess (director of student services for general education, 7 years in district); Joan Marie Esposito (GTMS teaching and learning facilitator, 19 years); Tina Gomez (GTMS world language teacher, 12 years); Emery Keeler (Reeds Road teacher, 32 years); and Kara Manzo (Reeds Road teacher, 29 years). The board moved and approved the retirement-acceptance resolution by roll-call vote.

After a roughly 15-minute executive session to discuss personnel, the board reconvened and voted to terminate the employment of employee number 2043 effective immediately (03/18/2025). The motion to terminate was moved, seconded and carried on a roll-call vote; the chair said action would follow the executive-session discussion and the vote was recorded in open session.

The board announced it would disclose the executive-session discussion to the public when the matter has been settled, "unless otherwise prohibited by law," per the meeting's executive-session resolution. No further personnel details were provided in open session.

Votes: retirements and the termination motion were each approved by roll call (votes recorded in the meeting transcript).
