Barnegat board approves personnel moves, hires interim superintendent and renews food-service contract
Summary
The board approved multiple committee motions including personnel hires and resignations, confirmed Kevin Carroll as interim superintendent effective July 1, and approved a cost-reimbursable food service management agreement for 2026–27 with abstentions noted.
The Barnegat Township School District Board of Education approved a slate of committee motions at its regular meeting, advancing personnel hires, accepting a resignation, and renewing the district’s food service management agreement for the 2026–27 school year.
On personnel, the board accepted the resignation of Britney Sher, supervisor of special education administration, effective Aug. 14, 2026. It approved several new hires for the 2026–27 school year, including Junior Appaloon (high-school world-language teacher, step and salary recorded in the motion) and Gina Rios (supervisor of special education, salary and step recorded). Colleen Camurn was approved as a grade-four teacher for Donahghue School for 2026–27. The board also approved Junior Appaloon as a substitute teacher for the Extended School Year program.
During the meeting members approved committee motions 1–23 from finance and personnel committees and multiple single-item committee motions across buildings/grounds, education and governance; votes were taken by roll call. The transcript records specific roll-call notes: one board member abstained on minutes earlier in the meeting, Mr. Bizaro abstained on finance motion 21 citing county employment, and individual 'no' votes and abstentions were recorded on some personnel items as noted in the roll-call record.
The board also approved a cost-reimbursable food-service management agreement for 2026–27 (described in the motion as year three of a five-year renewal). The motion text in the transcript lists a per-meal reimbursement figure recorded as '.2266' and a total contract figure as '1,869,6 46' in the meeting record; one member recorded an abstention on the vote and the motion carried.
Board President Mr. Sarno welcomed incoming interim superintendent Kevin Carroll (effective July 1) and members offered parting thanks to outgoing Superintendent Dr. Latmus.
The motions approved were routine committee recommendations and personnel actions; the board did not adopt any new policy changes at this meeting beyond governance committee readings recommended for later formal action.
