[quote=Anonymous]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:

[b]Ms. Joanne Kerekes[/b] - former Assistant Superintendent (25 year SBSD employee; abrupt, mid-year resignation in March 2016 - rehired immediately after Dr. Jellig resigned.)
    [b]Mr. Anthony N. Tonzini, Jr., CPA [/b]- School Business Administrator/Board Secretary
    [b]Mrs. Jennifer Diszler[/b] - Director of Professional Development
    [b]Mr. John Bruff[/b] - Director of Buildings and Grounds
    [b]Mr. Richard Chromey[/b] - 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:

[b]April 28, 2016: Allegations fly During Latest BOE Meeting, Possibly "Investigation" Underway:[/b]

Some takeaways from the last article:

[i]"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."[/i]

[i]“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.”[/i]

[i] “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.”[/i]

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.
