The New Jersey Association of School Administrators (NJASA) has selected Freehold Regional High School District Superintendent of Schools Charles B. Sampson as its Region II winner for 2018 Superintendent of the Year.
The next step in the process for superintendents who have been selected as regional winners will be the selection of a New Jersey candidate to participate in the American Association of School Administrators (AASA) National Superintendent of the Year Award, according to a press release.
A committee of NJASA past presidents will select the 2018 New Jersey Superintendent of the Year. The program, now in its 31st year and sponsored by First Student, VALIC, and AASA, pays tribute to the talent and vision of the men and women who lead the nation’s public schools, according to the press release.
Selection qualifications for the state and national superintendent of the year include meeting the needs of their students, demonstrated communication strength, a commitment to professional development and growth, and significant community involvement, according to the press release.
At the regional and state levels, NJASA has an additional qualification that addresses service with the county affiliate and NJASA.
AASA will announce the national superintendent of the year at its annual Conference on Education in February.
