“While we are sorry to see him leave our district and the State of New Jersey, we wish him and his wife Sophia all the best and every future success. I would like to offer him our appreciation for his dedication to the district and commitment to education,” said Board President Vanessa Primack.
In a statement on behalf of the Summit Board of Education, Primack says the Board will now undertake one of its most important tasks: Hiring a Superintendent of Schools.
