Pennsauken board outlines superintendent search process; NJSLA results presented
Summary
Board members reviewed superintendent search survey results and a presentation of 2023–24 NJSLA results; the board set a timeline for application review beginning Nov. 1 and public access to applications Nov. 11–23.
The Pennsauken Township Board of Education received survey results related to the superintendent search and a presentation of the 2023–24 NJSLA performance results at its Oct. 15 meeting.
According to the agenda, applications for the superintendent will be separated by qualifications beginning Nov. 1. Board members will be permitted to review applicant materials at the administration building from Nov. 11–23 during business hours; evening or weekend review time will be made available on request. A sample set of interview questions was circulated to board members for review.
Michael McGovern presented aggregated and disaggregated NJSLA assessment data, including subgroup analyses and trend comparisons; the board packet (presentation attached to the agenda) contains recommended intervention strategies aligned with the results. Several board members noted community engagement events: Ms. Johnson highlighted a well‑attended college night at Pennsauken High School that drew an estimated 200–300 parents and praised student extracurriculars including Model UN and cheerleading.
Why it matters: The search timeline sets the procedural steps for selecting a district superintendent; the NJSLA results and associated recommendations will inform curriculum and intervention planning ahead of budget and program decisions.
What’s next: The superintendent application window remains open through Oct. 31; board review begins Nov. 1 and on‑site review of applications is scheduled Nov. 11–23.
