Board approves superintendent contract; superintendent‑designate Kevin McPeek addresses board
Summary
The Branchburg Township Board of Education approved a superintendent contract for Kevin McPeek and heard remarks from McPeek about getting into buildings early, relationship building with staff, and starting July 1 (with informal visits sooner).
The Branchburg Township Board of Education approved a superintendent contract for Kevin McPeek and introduced him to the community at its March meeting.
Board leadership announced the single voting item under the superintendent's report as approval of a superintendent contract. Board members proceeded to a roll call and registered affirmative votes to move the appointment forward. Kevin McPeek, described by the board as the superintendent candidate in attendance, spoke to the board after the vote.
McPeek told the board he was “honored and actually extremely excited about this opportunity,” and said he intends to be visible in schools before his official July 1 start date. “My goal is to get to know all of you and to really spend the first few months getting into your room, seeing you, watching you work,” he said, adding that he planned informal visits beginning as soon as the following day.
The board framed the approval as the conclusion of a multi‑candidate search; the chair said the district had considered roughly 43 candidates and that McPeek rose “to the top.” No further personnel details or contract terms were provided in the meeting discussion.
The board did not announce a next public action related to the appointment at the meeting; the district will publish any formal contract documents and effective dates through its usual public records processes.
