Board names Darlyn Barris as Hardyston Township superintendent
Summary
The Hardyston Township Board of Education unanimously appointed Darlyn Barris as superintendent after a multi‑month search; the board held a brief reception and will coordinate a transition and retreat with the incoming leader.
The Hardyston Township Board of Education unanimously voted to appoint Darlyn Barris as the district's next superintendent after presenting her formal biography and holding a public introduction.
Board Chair opened the agenda item by praising the thorough search process and said the board had ‘‘found a leader who shares our values’’ before turning the floor over for comments. Members cited Barris’s more than 20 years in New Jersey schools and leadership roles in curriculum and student services as reasons for the hire. The motion to appoint was moved, seconded, and carried on a roll‑call vote with all recorded members voting yes.
Incoming superintendent Darlyn Barris told the board and community she was honored and ‘‘humbled’’ by the appointment and said, ‘‘I am coming in putting my sleeves up with my heart and mind and soul into this role.’’ Board members welcomed Barris at a brief reception following the vote.
The board indicated it will schedule a retreat toward the end of June to coordinate the transition and to include the incoming superintendent in planning. No implementation timeline was specified during the meeting.
