Previously, Zega had been serving as the assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction but moved into the interim superintendent position when then-Superintendent John Crowe resigned as superintendent and Assistant Superintendent Lois Rotella retired as news of the state Department of Education investigation into cheating at various township schools was coming to light. Zega, who said during Thursday's meeting that he was "not retiring," was appointed superintendent in December 2013 after serving as Interim Superintendent for five months.
Massimino replaces Robert Zega, a longtime district employee and alumnus of district schools. Five board members voted in favor of the appointment. Four Board of Education members abstained from the roll call vote after Board of Education attorney Jonathan Busch said any member who is "conflicted," should abstain on the matter. The new superintendent contract stipulates a five-year term through June 30, 2026.
