John Nemeth will continue as secretary to the Hopewell Valley Regional Board of Education.
Mr. Nemeth, who also is the school district’s business administrator, was reappointed board secretary, effective July 1 through June 30, 2004, during the board’s April 22 reorganization meeting.
Mr. Nemeth has been both board secretary and business administrator in Hopewell Valley for over 10 years. It is common practice in New Jersey school districts for the positions of board secretary and business administrator to be held by one individual.
Also reappointed for another year during the reorganization meeting was board attorney Robert Martinez, who like Mr. Nemeth has been with the Hopewell Valley district since the early 1990s.
Also reappointed for another year were two other district veterans, bond counsel Edward McManimon and treasurer James Bartolomei.
The district’s auditor for 2003-2004 will be the firm Holman and Frenia. Its financial advisor will be Capital Financial Associates. Its physician will be HJG Medical Associates of Hopewell.
