Good for Dr. Roselli, he is certainly deserving of the position and will serve the community and the district well. Best wishes!

Great to hear

another waste of money by the BOE......

Unbelievable!!!

There's some skeletons in that closet. Why was he removed from his principal position?

Let me understand this....
Vicari making $18,500 and no benefits quits. A qualified super offers to do it for free. The BoE hires a firm for $6500 to "discover" a candidate already in the building then hires him for (aprox) $155k plus benefits. Are you telling me that if the BoE had not paid that firm they would not have known that Mr. Roselli was a viable candidate? Seems the taxpayers just got stiffed big time.

Pellicchia needs to go away. The taxpayers and kids just lost a great chance at moving the district forward.

Politics at its best, here we go again! They didn't even give a qualified candidate an interview who was offering to do the job for free? Dump that entire BOE Board as they shake down the taxpayers and pick our pockets to benefit their friends in the so called name of the greater good and for the students. They have a lot of explaining to do.

Thanks for wasting our tax dollars BOE. This is ridiculous. I'm so aggravated right now.

Fulcomer ran on the platform of shared services and "looking into" working with CR district, and you don't even interview a candidate to get the facts about him??? This is another example of the GOP picking an insider who is "one of them". This is now the 3rd time the Republicans in this town just do as they are told. Just ask a police offcier when you see one today how the Sergeant promotions went last week. They skipped on a civil service list for one "of their own". But then again, these people need to live with their careers being political grab, instead of on their own merit.

WOW! I also agree with Mike. This also goes to show how the BOE is not for the children of Berkeley and waste the taxpayers money. Who will take over the position of Director of Special Services? Let's not forget about the children who need those services in our school system.

Why have a part time super versus a full time super for little cost increase. Do you remember that this BOE has not increased taxes in three budgets?

There was an incident on a school trip this year right before the Stokes trip. A bunch of boys were joking around didnt harm anyone but were reprimanded at school and at home. My son happened to be one of those boys. I was told he could still go on the trip to Stokes then i received a phone call Thursday after school hours and was told my son could not go. When i had called the school the next day Mr Roselli wanted nothing to do with it. He said it was up to the "PEOPLE" in charge of the trip. Now i know why Mr Roselli would not get involved!!! Now i know that he was running for a position and didnt want any problems or to ruin his reputation. I have lost all respect for that man that trip was taken away from my son when he was a good kid and his principal should of stood behind him. Shows there is alot more behind the scene... people like me that dont know alot about politics really get the short end of the stick. From here on out i will be more involved in what happens i pay alot of tax dollars where i live. I think any child that gets in trouble though out the school year should have that trip taken away from them. They went to far and MR ROSELLI did nothing about it!! I feel the same way some of you feel... Im so shocked and aggravated... Sorry to get off topic so much but this news came to a shock to me this morning and the school year ended and im still pissed at what happened ... Waste of money...

November is coming and there are 4 seats up for grabs. Time for some new blood, vote new people in and lets shake things up. We can complain all we want to anyone who will listen, or read, but we have the power to make the real change. Make a positive change for the kids

I think we need to focus on how the board is wasting our tax dollars by this move. I don't know much about Mr. Roselli, I hope he is good for the kids. However, what we do know is that the wasted dollars could have been used in the classroom, $6,500 to a firm to do a job that the current board could have done at no cost, why were dollars spent? Why an interim super, at this point it cost $ 8,500, again why spend that money when they hire someone that was right in front of them. $15,000 of wasted money, can we expect that this interim super gets a job in this district at another cost? I can't imagine she took this position knowing she would only be here for a month. Mr. Roselli, I hope, for our kids sake, that you are worth the approx. $450,000 to $750,000 for the life of your contract. The funny thing is,  the board didn't have spend a dime and we could have gotten a proven superintendent and spent the money in the classroom where it's needed most.

good for the kids? he is the number one guy against the stokes trip, no he is not good for our kids nor our school system, he collects his big paycheck and our town is only blur in his rear view mirror at the end of each day! I'm soooooo sick over this, looks like its going to a long year of boe meetings

How about you all figure this out and let IH go to TRS

-

Just hang in there Dr. P. Soon there will be a new school board!

Its only a matter of time before somone gets caught with thier hand in the cookie jar. . . Shame on you

It's beginning to sound like Toms River Ritacco years with big firms paid big bucks out of Berkeley taxpayers pockets.

Pay 155,000 or pay 0.00 doesn't take a genius to figure this out. How long has Mr Roselli been employed by BOE 7 maybe 8 years. He's done well for himself.

Just remember all this at election time. All the present BOE members other than Mr. Fulcumer voted to hire Mr. Roselli, who I understand is very qualified. But, even so, Dr. P is also well qualified and had offered to assume the responsibilities with no salary increase. This would have saved the Township approximately $150,000. Out of one side of our elected officials mouths you hear them say that they strive to curb the budget through shared services, yet out of the other side you hear them vote for an unnecessary expenditure when given the opportunity. Vote for officials who do what they say, not those who say one thing and do another.

How is Roselli very qualified for the position? He was a principal and then Director of special services. He just got his certificate to be a superintendent, that's what they were waiting for.

Whats with all the superintendants named Roselli....

SamIAm do u have anything to say about the situation about Roselli or are you just on here to bash people. I was explaining how he didnt stick up for my son. He said one thing then didnt want to get involved when it came down to a bunch of angry parents he ran and hid, all because he was running for a position!! Thats really caring for kids....and i am assuming you never joked around as a kid. There are still good kids left in this world and at 11 they do "JOKE AROUND"

Americans are finally waking up to the power of the vote. That Board has to go because it continues to ignore the wishes of the taxpayers.
