BELLEVILLE, NJ — The Belleville Board of Education has officially launched its search for the district’s next superintendent.
The board said it aims to have the next superintendent in place by July 1, which will help to ensure a smooth transition for the 2025-2026 school year.
The board has hired Strategic Exemplary Alliance to conduct the search, which will involve “comprehensive community engagement,” “rigorous candidate vetting” and a “thorough selection process,” trustees said.
