The Lawrence Township Public School District board approved a slate of personnel actions and formally appointed Megan Stratton as supervising supervisor during its May 13 meeting.
The personnel committee had reviewed vacancies and recommended hires across the district, including a district nurse, music and English positions, a chemistry teacher at the high school, and a supervisor for humanities. Trustees moved P1–P35 for approval and carried the motion by roll call.
The board also recognized the impending retirement of long-serving district security administrator Frank Giphone, who will retire in June after 23 years of service.
At new business the board moved NB2 (the appointment of Megan Stratton) individually; the motion carried and Stratton spoke briefly. "I'm so excited to join the team in July," she said, outlining her background as a supervisor of humanities and prior teaching experience in the area.
Additional new-business items (NB1 and NB3–NB9) were moved and approved together. The meeting concluded after adjournment motions with the next board meeting scheduled for May 20.
