Hoboken Board of Education and Superintendent Close to Agreement on Contract Extension

Some may see that congratulations are in order to the Hoboken School District on extending the superintendent’s million-dollar plus multi-year contract. Clearly, the community and the Hoboken Board of Education were able to look beyond the superintendent's: 

1) years of deception concerning an unearned doctorate, 

2) the delay in communicating a proposed $241 million high school that was placed on a failed special referendum ballot only two months later, 

3) an historic one-year budget increase of 14.99% for school year 2024-25, and 

4) after many hundreds of millions of dollars spent in the school district since becoming superintendent in 2015— the very low recent ranking of Hoboken within the NJDOE's “FG” District Factor Group (42nd of 44 among similar socio-economically grouped school districts). 

Wishing the superintendent, the Board of Education, and most importantly the families and the children enrolled in the Hoboken Public Schools all the best going forward.
