A mere 23 million dollars https://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/news/loose-lips/article/21001466/dc-public-schools-central-office-appears-bloated-and-opaque ...but sure let's hire somebody with a track record of mismanaging funds. |

| Melissa Kim seems to be the leader of DCPS not the Chancellor. |

| How is funds mis-management not an immediate disqualifier? |

| Stop it people, you don't even know him. Dr. Jellig was very much liked at KIPP. |

If DCPS would have done a little online research, this person should not have been hired.
Dr. Jellig was an absolute nightmare for South Brunswick. The school district is still trying to recover. During his short tenure, there was a degrading climate and negative culture under his leadership, which resulted in an unprecedented gutting of the SBSD Central Office administration. These high ranking members of the administration had all tendered resignations during his 18 months as superintendent: Ms. Joanne Kerekes - former Assistant Superintendent (25 year SBSD employee; abrupt, mid-year resignation in March 2016 - rehired immediately after Dr. Jellig resigned.) Mr. Anthony N. Tonzini, Jr., CPA - School Business Administrator/Board Secretary Mrs. Jennifer Diszler - Director of Professional Development Mr. John Bruff - Director of Buildings and Grounds Mr. Richard Chromey - Director of Human Resources Although the majority of this information is public knowledge, I still want to draw your attention to some articles that verify these claims: April 14, 2015: Let's hear it for failure, bullying, underage drinking-and of course PARCC testing: article published by Bob Braun, Star-Ledger education editor for 30 years: http://www.bobbraunsledger.com/lets-hear-it-for-failure-bullying-underage-drinking-and-of-course-parcc-testing/ April 1, 2016 - South Brunswick BOE Gets Two-Hour Tongue Lashing from Public: https://www.tapinto.net/towns/south-brunswick-cranbury/articles/south-brunswick-boe-gets-two-hour-tongue-lashing-1 April 28, 2016: Allegations fly During Latest BOE Meeting, Possibly "Investigation" Underway: https://www.tapinto.net/towns/south-brunswick-cranbury/articles/south-brunswick-allegations-fly-during-latest-b Some takeaways from the last article: "Lolli said the union is filing and unfair labor practice complaint with the state regarding this issue, he also said two other grievances will be heard which could cost the district as much as $140,000 if decided in the union’s favor." “In the last 18 months, I’ve been called into many conversations with female building reps, secretaries, paraprofessionals and teachers about their considerable discomfort they have performing their jobs every day. These women have been the recipients of tasteless comments, uncomfortable text messages, intrusions of personal space and inappropriate advances.” “The breaches of trust, the climate of decay and the conflicts that have occurred in just the last 20 months make it difficult for SBEA to work with Dr. Jellig in any meaningful way,” he said. “I don’t understand why the Board of Education continues to offer explanations and excuses on his behalf.” Here you can view full comments from John Lolli, present of the South Brunswick Teachers Union, recite the full list of grievances to the South Brunswick Board of Education Dr. Jellig was resigned amid these allegations directly after this meeting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tr-Pv3SGCtg Keep this man away from teachers, staff and leadership. If you are going to retain him, relegate him to a closet where he can produce papers on educational theory. He is a wolf in sheep's clothing. |

He's also one of the few people on the Leadership Team page without a bio or picture link. As if they don't want you to know who he is or his background.

| It seems like many people on this board have strong opinions on the admissions changes to SWW and Banneker. Anyone asked Jellig what, if anything, he plans on doing about it? Both do fall in his Cluster? |

| He’s an instructional sup. Paper pusher and administrator supervisor. He has no budget to control. Why all the fuss. OP seems personal to me, like a gaslighting campaign. |

Most of you have no clue regarding what an instructional sup does. What they do:M (primarily)
Screen Principal Candidates, Monitor, and Evaluate Principals Monitor Sped Compliance Rates Review and inform School Budget proposals Facilitate Professional Development plans for their cluster Report out to Chancellor regarding their cluster What they don’t do: - Evaluate Teachers - Participate in Labor Disputes - Hire/Fire Principals - Approve school budgets Carry on. |

| Nowhere is this Forum is a discussion as to why he left his position in Cincinnati. Suffice it to say he left without even saying goodbye to his faculty. He just disappeared. |

They are actually the same. he was offered the chance to "resign" and get a payout or be fired and leave with nothing. What would you choose. |
