Deptford Board approves multiple resignations, hires and promotions; names Jonathan Wagner technology director
Summary
The Board approved a slate of personnel actions April 28, including resignations and retirements, leaves, transfers and new hires. Jonathan Wagner was approved as district Technology Director effective June 1 at a prorated $127,000 salary pending clearances.
The Deptford Township Board of Education unanimously approved a broad package of personnel actions during its April 28 meeting, accepting resignations and retirements, authorizing leaves of absence, approving transfers and promotions, and confirming new hires.
Among the personnel items, the board accepted six separations and retirements, including the retirements of Gloria Frisbey (service aide) effective June 18, 2026 and Joseph Hollywood (teacher) effective July 1, 2026. The board approved numerous leaves and FMLA revisions for staff across departments and authorized transfers that replace departing paraprofessionals and teachers.
In employment actions, the board approved Jonathan Wagner as Technology Director, effective June 1, 2026, at a prorated salary of $127,000, pending criminal-history clearance and completion of required paperwork. The board also approved Christopher Maxwell as Senior Naval Science Instructor (effective April 16, 2026) and multiple part-time and substitute hires to cover current openings and long-term assignments. Promotions included Roseanne Foschini to Transportation Coordinator (effective April 29) and internal staffing moves to create district instructional coach positions for the 2026–2027 school year.
The personnel slate included additional operational items such as stipends (for National Board Certification), CST evaluation fees (with a cap on total payout), and creation of Day and Night Supervisor positions. The motion to approve personnel was made by Board member Dan McCurdy and seconded by Board member Milton Corsey; the package passed on a roll-call vote (8-0).
Board materials show account numbers and compensation references for each hire or transfer and note that many approvals are contingent on criminal-history clearance and completion of required paperwork. Several hires are replacements for the departing staff listed earlier in the agenda; some new positions (instructional coaches) are noted as newly created for 2026–2027.
The board’s action moves multiple staffing matters forward before the summer and establishes pay rates for summer programs such as Spartan Care and the ESY special-education summer program, which were approved in the same meeting.
