Cranbury moving on school administrator search

[news]

Cranbury school board members are flipping through a stack of approximately 40 resumes and hope their next chief school administrator is among them.

The district is seeking a replacement for Chief School Administrator Carol Malouf, who will retire in June. The board hopes to announce the name of her successor in late April, if not soon after that, at the board's reorganization meeting, school board President Joan Rue said Monday.

In the meantime, board members are pouring over resumes and getting ready to begin the interview process.

"We have begun to look at possible folks to interview," Ms. Rue said. "And we're hoping to do that within the next two to three weeks — to begin our first round of interviews — and from there proceed on."

Ms. Malouf joined the district in 1978 as a teacher and taught English and literature to grades six and eight. She became Cranbury School vice principal and director of curriculum in 1989 and was made chief school administrator and principal in 2001 at a salary of $113,000. Ms. Malouf announced her retirement in June 2006. This year, Ms. Malouf will earn $148,830.
