WEST LONG BRANCH — Shore Regional High School has a new soccer coach. The Shore Regional High School Board of Education approved the hiring of Paul Green, the assistant coach in Summit for 11 years, for the head position at Shore at its July 25 meeting.

He replaces Rob Donohoe, who left to take a job at Red Bank Regional High School.

He will not be teaching at the Shore Regional, however, only coaching.

In another personnel move, the board endorsed the hiring of Vincent Silvestri as a physics teacher.

Schnappauf said Silvestri was a nuclear physicist who had come to teaching by the alternate route.

Schnappauf also introduced the high school’s three new supervisors, all of whom were at the meeting, to the board.

They are Tracy Handerhan, who fills the newly created post of director of curriculum and instruction; Rosemary McNamara, who was hired for the revised position of director of student personnel services, and Stephen Nicol, who is new as a vice principal.

The board voted to grant permission to the Monmouth County Public Health Bioterrorism Task Force to list Shore Regional High School as a potential local vaccination site as part of its coordinated Smallpox Bioterrorism Response Plant.
