NJ’s top three supers open up about life inside the system
All told, the three men represent more than 50 years of school leadership — in different New Jersey communities with different challenges.
Whatever their differences, however, the three share a common bond: They were named yesterday as the top school superintendents in their regions. They also share a common sentiment: the expectations and pressures now facing New Jersey’s schools are unprecedented, especially in the face of constrained resources and strict caps.
They weren’t complaining about their jobs, something they made clear in a joint interview with NJ Spotlight. Recent changes in the state’s tenure laws and coming changes in curriculum offered some equally unprecedented opportunities, they said. (Mooney, NJ Spotlight)
