VINELAND – More than 30 applicants are interested in becoming the next Vineland Public School District superintendent, said school board member Kim Codispoti.
The board is starting this week with virtual interviews and will move to in-person discussions with those who make it to the second round.
The pool consists of 22 New Jersey residents and nine out-of-state contenders, including one from Nevada.
Superintendent Mary Gruccio is set to retire July 1, and the school board’s goal is to have a new hire in place for a seamless transition.
With the district’s top slot yet to be determined, the school board has filled its other administrative opening.
The library has instituted a variety of safety precautions and procedures in order to keep staff and patrons as safe as possible. Masks, which cover the mouth and nose, are required at all times, and everyone must adhere to social distancing guidelines. There will be no exceptions. Patrons will be required to sanitize their hands upon entering and must provide their name and contact information for contact tracing.
The library’s vending area, teen room, public meeting rooms, rest rooms and quiet study room will remain closed. The children’s department will be open in a limited capacity.
Food and drinks are not allowed in the library and seating has been temporarily removed.
A Good Wrap
Vineland police cruiser is billboard on wheels, promotes HERO Campaign for Designated Drivers, honors two fallen Vineland heroes.
by Ahmad Graves-El
A regional drunk driving prevention organization and the Vineland Police Department have joined forces in an effort to show local residents the importance of designated drivers.
A new Ford Explorer, driven by Sgt. Terry Hall, is being called a “rolling billboard” that will promote the mission of the John R. Elliott HERO Campaign for Designated Drivers.
“We established it in memory of our son, Navy Ensign John Elliott, who was killed in a collision with a drunken driver on Route 40 near Woodstown on July 22, 2000,” Bill Elliott, John’s father, said to SNJ Today. “Our mission is to prevent drunk driving tragedies by promoting the use of safe and sober designated drivers.”
It s been one year since COVID-19 disrupted our lives, dramatically changing the way we live, work and play. This article is one in a series of stories detailing South Jersey s adjustment to the pandemic.
New Jersey is giving local and county governments one to two months extra in fiscal year 2021 to hit statutory budget deadlines, including introducing budgets in a nod to the continuing uncertainties and obstacles thrown up by the COVID-19 pandemic.
And they ll need every bit of it.
The City of Millville, a community of about 27,000 people, has frozen hiring unless there is a critical need, walking gingerly around layoff scenarios, and looking for somewhere to cut spending.
