Trustee questions assistant principal appointment process at Bayonne School District meeting
Summary
A trustee at the Bayonne School District open workshop questioned why an assistant principal position appeared to have been filled without posting or interviews; other trustees said the role had been posted and interviews were conducted by the superintendent and that the candidate was the superintendent's recommendation.
During the open workshop, a trustee raised a personnel question about an assistant principal appointment, asking why "there was no posting, there was no interviews" and saying "I just want to know how he come up and we just gave him the job." The trustee identified the matter as a personnel item and sought clarity about the hiring process.
A respondent referenced the agenda, saying the assistant principal role is listed on page B7. Another trustee replied that "there was both a posting and interviews that were conducted by the superintendent" and that the hiring recommendation came from the superintendent based on those interviews. The trustee who asked the question said the posting "may have been invisible" to some community members but said they would "take your word for it," and no further public action was recorded in the open portion of the meeting.
The transcript does not record the assistant principal's name or indicate any immediate follow-up vote or assignment. The board then closed the open workshop and moved into executive session; no additional public discussion of the hiring item was recorded in the public session.
