Green Wave new staff members for 2012

As the doors open on September 6, 2012 for students of the Long Branch Public Schools over two dozen new teachers and staff members will be on hand. At the August 29, public meeting of the Long Branch Board of Education 25 new staff members took the oath of office.

Michael Salvatore, Superintendent of Schools, pointed out that a majority of these new staff members have spent years in the district as substitute teachers or paraprofessionals. “This is a wonderful group of dedicated and hardworking individuals that will benefit our district and the children of Long Branch,” said Salvatore.
