Summary

The Deptford Township Board of Education on Feb. 10 approved a broad personnel slate that included resignations, leaves, transfers and new hires and created two new district leadership positions.
On the recommendation of Superintendent Kevin Kanauss, the board approved resignations of substitute teachers and bus aides, multiple leaves and revisions to FMLA/NJFLA entries, transfers and long-term substitute hires. The motion was moved by James McDevitt, board member and personnel committee chair, and seconded by Carisa Rose, school business administrator/board secretary; the vote was 9-0.
Why it matters: the board also approved the formal creation of two administrative positions — Chief Curriculum and Instructional Technology Officer (A-30) and Technology Director (A-31) — and adopted an updated organizational chart for the 2025–2026 school year. Those positions signal a restructuring of district oversight for curriculum and instructional technology and for district technology operations.
The personnel package included long-term substitute assignments to cover leaves at Shady Lane Elementary School and Central Early Childhood Center, hiring of a long-term substitute school social worker to cover a leave through June 18, 2026 (pending clearances), substitute school nurse appointments, and coaching and volunteer coaching assignments for the high school football program. The board also approved educational reimbursement for staff and a sick-day donation for a staff member.
The board approved the personnel items en bloc; motions and votes were recorded in the minutes as carried. Specific employee names and individual appointment details were listed in the board packet and minutes; staffing start dates and some appointments are contingent on criminal-history-clearance and required paperwork.
Next steps: the board adopted the new position descriptions and organizational chart immediately, and affected hires and assignments will proceed subject to standard hiring and clearance procedures.
