The Deptford Township Board of Education recorded the resignation of Transportation Supervisor Cheron Gamble, effective March 23, 2026, and approved the hiring of multiple transportation staff during its Jan. 27 meeting.
At the start of the public portion, resident Dillan Rhodes asked the board about the supervisor's resignation and whether the district is filling transportation aides and drivers. Chair Joseph McKenna said Superintendent Kevin Kanauss would address the matter in a roundup; Kanauss confirmed he would provide that update. (The meeting minutes show Kanauss listed as present.)
The personnel slate approved by the board included new transportation hires and substitute bus aides. Named transportation hires on the agenda include bus drivers Luciano Muniz and Norman Murphy and bus aides Rachel Farrell, Tracy Murphy, Shannon Sheppard, Amanda Theodore, Tyrone Williams Sr., and Braden Wyatt. Substitute bus aides listed included Jacqueline Pentek and Jessica Wilcox. All hires were listed as contingent on criminal-history clearance and completion of required paperwork.
The personnel motion that contained these items passed on the board's roll call recorded in the minutes as 7-0. The minutes do not include a substantive public statement from the superintendent at the meeting; Kanauss indicated he would provide a roundup update at a later date.
