Deptford board accepts business administrator's resignation, hires successor and authorizes security vestibule application
Summary
At a Nov. 3 special meeting the Deptford Township Board of Education accepted the resignation of School Business Administrator Ronald Latham Jr., approved hiring Carisa Rose as his successor pending clearance, approved CMP/M-1 maintenance reports and authorized a NJDOE Other Capital Project application for a school security vestibule. Votes were unanimous where recorded.
The Board of Education of the Township of Deptford accepted the resignation of Ronald Latham Jr., the district's School Business Administrator and Board Secretary, effective Dec. 14, 2025, and provisionally approved Carisa Rose to fill the position for the 2025–2026 school year. The personnel motion, moved by Milton Corsey and seconded by Jim McDevitt, carried on a roll call vote of 6–0.
Under the same motion set, the board approved a salary for Rose of $162,000 (prorated) pending criminal-history record clearance and completion of required paperwork. The agenda notes a county-approved contract is attached; the start date was listed as "to be determined." The hiring was described as a replacement for Ronald Latham Jr.
The board also took finance-related actions. It approved submission of the district's Comprehensive Maintenance Plan (CMP) and the Annual Maintenance Budget Worksheet (M-1 report) for the 2025–2026 school year to the Gloucester County Office of Education, certifying that required maintenance activities are reasonable to keep facilities open and safe. Separately, the board authorized Garrison Architects to prepare and submit a New Jersey Department of Education Other Capital Project application for a School Security Vestibule and approved corresponding amendments to the district's Long-Range Facilities Plan. That motion carried on a 6–0 roll call vote.
Carisa Rose addressed the board during public comment to "express appreciation for the opportunity to serve as the incoming School Business Administrator" and said she looks forward to working with the district. Other public commenters thanked Mr. Latham for his service.
Next steps include completion of Rose's background clearance and submission of the NJDOE Other Capital Project application by Garrison Architects. The record does not specify a firm project timeline or estimated cost for the vestibule; those details were not provided in the meeting record.
The meeting adjourned at 6:58 p.m.
