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.
