Bloomfield BOE Seeks Public Input at Superintendent Search Forum

Do you want to to learn more about Bloomfield Schools' Superintendent search process and voice your opinion on what the community needs in a superintendent?

The Bloomfield Board of Education is inviting members of the community to attend “Board of Education Community Forum” to join the dialogue on choosing the next Superintendent of Schools. 

This Community Forum will take place on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in the second floor Board of Education Conference Room at 155 Broad St.

Seton Hall Professor Barbara Strobert will moderate the community forum and lead a discussion on the superintendent search process which will solicit input from community members on what they want in their next Superintendent of Schools. School officials said that parts of the conversation may be used for interviews with superintendent candidates.

The previous Superintendent Jason Bing was hired in January of 2011 and signed a five-year contract but resigned in May after a prolonged school budget crisis that resulted in staffing cuts for the district. 

Director of Human Resources/Labor Relations and General Counsel Nicholas Dotoli became temporary superintendent after Bing's resignation. School officials said Dotoli would not apply for the permanent job and would step down when a permanent superintendent was installed.
