Paget, Rosenberg to Lead Board Again

Camden Road resident Steven Paget will serve as Board of Education president for the third consecutive year, while Dubois Round resident Marc Rosenberg will serve as vice president for a second year.

Both were appointed to the spots during Monday night’s Board of Education meeting, with Judy Haas casting the only dissenting vote in the appointments.  Board member Thuy Anh Le was unable to attend the meeting.

“I just thought that a change would be in order,” Haas said of her vote.  “I am just worried about certain responsibilities that have not been fulfilled.”

In addition, new board members Jennifer Haley and Chris Pulsifer and incumbent Haas were sworn to their three-year terms.

Unlike last year, where the board charged its Special Projects Committee with investigating revenue sources, committees were not given any specific duties during the meeting.

In the following year, Barbara Sargent will head the Personnel Committee with Pulsifer and Rosenberg serving on it, Greg Gillette will lead the Finance Committee with Thomas Kinst and Judy Haas as committee members, and Le will reprise her role as Facilities Committee chair, with Gillette and Sargent as members.  Kinst will again lead the Special Projects Committee, with Haley and Haas serving on it, Pulisfer will lead the Negotiations Committee, with Kinst and Gillette as members, and Haley will lead the Communications Committee with Haas and Le as members.  Rosenberg will lead the Curriculum Committee this year, with Pulsifer and Sargent as members and Haas will lead the Policy Committee with Haley and Rosenberg as members.

Kinst will serve as township liaison, Le will reprise her role as legislative representative, and Haley will serve as municipal alliance liaison.

Sargent, Haas and Rosenberg will once again serve as Somerset County Educational Services Delegate, Somerset County School Boards Association representative, and New Jersey School Boards representative, respectively.
