Board approves personnel slate and installs new director of innovation
Summary
The Edison Township Board of Education approved the personnel resolutions, including creation/appointment to an innovation director role. The motion passed by roll call; the appointee thanked colleagues and the superintendent said a transition plan will follow.
The Edison Township Board of Education voted to approve its personnel resolutions, including the creation of a district-level innovation director position and the appointment of Joan/Joanie Valentine to that role.
The motion to approve the personnel slate was moved and seconded during the meeting and passed by roll call (9 yes). After the vote the newly appointed director thanked the board and district leaders, saying she was "so excited" to extend districtwide innovation work while maintaining ties to her current school community.
Superintendent Eddie Alderelli told the board the position was developed from the district's strategic plan and was partially grant-funded. He said the position had been posted (the posting closed) and that the job description was available on the district website. Alderelli added that a transition plan would be discussed after the board's acceptance of the recommendation so school leadership coverage could be handled smoothly.
Board members and local union leaders congratulated the appointee. The board president said the motion carried and that the district would follow up publicly as transition details were finalized.
What happens next: administration will present a transition plan to the board and post any interim staffing details; no additional personnel actions were announced at the meeting.
