Assistant Superintendent of Business Angelo DeSimone, who will retire this summer after eight years of district service, has been named the New Jersey Business Administrator of the Year by the New Jersey School Boards Association.
The announcement was made at last week’s Board of Education (BOE) meeting by Superintendent Daniel Fishbein, who noted that the award comes with a $2,000 college scholarship for a student.
This year, the New Jersey School Association of School Business Officials also honored DeSimone with the Distinguished Service Award for northern New Jersey.
This is the first time DeSimone has been named New Jersey Business Administrator of the Year, an award that is the result of a county nomination and state committee selection. He was also recommended by Fishbein.
“Congratulations, Angelo. Well-deserved,” BOE President Sheila Brogan said last week. “Does this mean you’re staying?”
Wasn’t April Fool’s Day yesterday…..?
