Dunellen Board of Education Meeting - 5/18/2026

The Dunellen Board of Education held a special public meeting on May 18, 2026, focused primarily on initiating the superintendent search process. The board engaged legal and educational consultants from Camagno Law Group and the New Jersey Association of School Administrators to guide the recruitment and selection of a new superintendent. The consultants outlined a multi-phase, data-driven process involving broad community and staff input through surveys, town halls, and virtual meetings to develop a leadership profile tailored to the district's needs. The board emphasized the importance of communication, inclusivity, and transparency throughout the search, including provisions for multilingual outreach and opportunities for stakeholder feedback. No specific contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting, but the process discussed will likely lead to future contracting for superintendent services. The meeting concluded with a motion to enter executive session to discuss personnel matters confidentially.
