The Bloomfield Board of Education has unanimously approved Superintendent Jason Bing’s recommendation to nominate Mr. Nicholas J. Dotoli as Bloomfield’s incoming Director of Human Resources/Labor Relations. 

Dotoli will join central office to oversee all personnel operations (including recruitment and hiring), district-wide professional development and training, strategic planning and general education legal services. Dotoli began representing the district in 2008 as an attorney with the firm Schwartz, Edelstein, Simon & Celso, New Jersey’s largest education law firm.

A NJ licensed school administrator, Dotoli holds a B.A. from Wesleyan University, an Ed.M. in Educational Leadership, Administration & Policy from Harvard University and a J.D. from Rutgers Law School.  He practices law in New Jersey, New York and before the United States District Court for the District of NJ.  

Dotoli is expected to begin his new role in mid-December.
