Franklin Borough board rescinds two hires, approves new custodian and full‑time social studies teacher
Summary
At its Jan. 12 meeting the Franklin Borough Board of Education rescinded two prior staff appointments and approved new hires including a full-time evening custodian and a full‑time social studies teacher (MA+30, Step 14, $82,296 prorated), pending required paperwork.
The Franklin Borough Board of Education voted Jan. 12 to rescind two earlier personnel appointments and to approve multiple new hires for the 2025–26 school year.
The board, on a motion by Wayne Bartron and seconded by Erin Henry, rescinded the appointments of Jennah Leka (part‑time paraprofessional, .71 FTE) and Michael Antonelli (behaviorist). The motion carried unanimously by roll call vote.
The board then approved several new appointments recommended by Superintendent John R. Giacchi. Appointments announced in the minutes included Jason Baldwin as a full‑time evening custodian (annual salary $44,000, prorated), Nicholas Kiss as a part‑time paraprofessional (.71 FTE) at $19.62 per hour plus a $2.00 differential, and Michael Russomanno as a full‑time social studies teacher at MA+30, Step 14 ($82,296, to be prorated). Approvals were contingent on receipt of required paperwork where applicable.
The board also approved substitute hires (including a substitute custodian and substitute teachers) and several professional development registrations with itemized registration, lodging and mileage costs listed in the meeting attachments.
The personnel committee’s approvals were recorded as carried by roll call vote; the minutes do not list individual vote tallies.
