Feasibility study reports sharing administrative roles will save money
The West Long Branch Board of Education voted Tuesday in favor of sharing a superintendent and business administrator with Shore Regional High School. Currently, both the West Long Branch School District and Shore Regional High School have interim superintendents, and since both schools are located in West Long Branch, it was decided it would make sense to share the position of superintendent between the schools. A feasibility study published in May, prepared by Nicholas C. Puleio and James H Strimple Jr., found that the sharing of superintendents could save between $142,000 to $152,000 every year due to the reduction of one superintendent position. Similarly, the study found it was also feasible to share a business administrator between…

A judge recently ruled that the out-of-district students can continue to attend the high school.
A ruling last month by and administrative law judge will allow Interlaken children to continue to attend Shore Regional and West Long Branch schools.
