Summary
The board approved a slate of personnel actions including Educational Assistants, unit secretaries, summer and ESY staffing, and recognized Roosevelt Elementary School for ranking #1 in New Jersey; the Magnet high-school addition was discussed as a summer project.
The Pennsauken Township Board of Education on April 15 approved multiple personnel appointments, summer program staffing and co-curricular stipends, and offered public recognition of district achievements.
Personnel approvals on the agenda included several Educational Assistant (1:1) hires with stated start dates contingent on fingerprint/background checks, bus driver and unit secretary appointments, and stipend positions for co-curricular roles. The board also approved lists of staff assigned to Extended School Year (ESY) programming, Twilight program staffing and the Summer Academy (June 24–August 2) and Kindergarten JumpStart; many summer positions were listed with a $44 hourly rate in the agenda materials.
In recognitions, Superintendent Dr. Tarchichi and Board President Mrs. Young highlighted that Roosevelt Elementary School ranked first in the State of New Jersey; the board thanked staff, students and parents and noted that Magnet school construction will begin this summer to complete the district’s STEM vision for the high school.
During public comment the board heard praise for district programs and an introduction from Matt Sax, the newly elected president of the Pennsauken Education Association. Four community members spoke during the general comment period, urging continued focus on student-centered programming and celebrating recent successes.
The motion to approve personnel and program agenda items 2–35 was moved by Mr. McDevitt, seconded by Mr. Carey, and carried.
