Princeton BOE To Announce Choice Of New Superintendent On Wednesday

PRINCETON, NJ — The Princeton Board of Education will be holding a special meeting on Wednesday, where they will appoint a new school superintendent.

Princeton Public Schools has been without a superintendent since October 2023, when Carol Kelley resigned from the post.

Kelley’s tenure at the school district was marked with many controversies, the most prominent being the dismissal of popular high school principal Frank Chmiel.

In September 2024, the BOE appointed School Leadership LLC to help the district in its new superintendent search.

The community was invited to participate in the superintendent search through surveys and several forums. A dedicated webpage was created to keep people informed.

The superintendent search will officially launch on Oct. 17, 2024.

Wednesday’s meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m., in the Valley Road Conference Room and is open to the members of the community.
