Board Approves Hiring of Two New Administrators
Board of Education members approved the hiring of two new administrators at the May 19 regular meeting, which was again held virtually and live-streamed over the district's YouTube Channel. Following a lengthy search during which online interviews were held at three levels, Christina Fletcher has been selected as Mount Laurel's new Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction. It was a similar process that led to the board's vote to hire Patrice Clark as Larchmont Elementary School's new principal on Tuesday night. Biographical information for each of the new administrators follows.
