HOBOKEN -- It's not up on the Hoboken school district's website yet, but apparently, a candidate to become the superintendent of the Hoboken school system has told the Record of Hackensack that he has been offered the job and is negotiating a contract.
Fort Lee Assistant Superintendent Frank Romano was presented two weeks ago as one of two individuals vying for the spot. The other is Gayle Griffin, a central office administrator in Newark.
The district is presently run by Interim Superintendent Peter Carter, who took over last year when Jack Raslowsky left suddenly.
The Record says:
After interviewing for Hoboken Public Schools district’s superintendent position last month, Fort Lee Assistant Superintendent Frank Romano said Feb. 6 he was offered the job.
"We are in the process of negotiating a contract," Romano said.
Romano will complete the remaining time in his two-year contract with Fort Lee, and take the Hoboken post starting July 1.
Romano applied for the position after the New Jersey School Board Association posted the job opening in October 2009.
Fort Lee ... will announce Romano's departure during the board of education meeting at School 1, Feb. 8 at 8 p.m.
Hoboken has one high school as well as a small alternative high school; a middle school; and three primary schools.
I really don't get your logic. How can the education of any kids 'not cost anything'?
As for letting juniors and seniors stay, feel free to write one of your personal checks to the Hoboken school district to fund those students, but please do not send the bill for your charitable ideas to me.
i hope if they do weed out the illegal students, they let the ones who are seniors or juniors stay rather than disrupting their academic careers. it's not fair for them to suffer for their parents' sins, or for the districts'.
Cheap or not cheap, if they don't belong into the Hoboken school district, don't send me the bill for them! What sort of an argument is that, let them be because they 'are cheap to educate'? First of all, what are you basing this statement on that the illegal students are any cheaper than the legal ones? Second, even if this assertion were true, stealing smaller amounts of money is still stealing, isn't it?
Furthermore, it should be quite obvious that artificially inflating enrollment with illegal students is used by the administration as a tactic for justifying their own existence. Take the illegal students out of the picture, close schools and slash administrative head count. There I've said it...
Good luck!
Mr. Romano spoke to the Hackensack Record on his own accord, call it a 'leak'.
