MONTVALE—The president of the Pascack Valley Regional High School District Board of Education wrote school families on March 25 to say that at the board’s March 28 meeting, Sarah Bilotti will be on the agenda for approval as the next Superintendent of Schools.
BOE president Joseph Blundo, on behalf of the board, said he was delighted to make the announcement.
She is to earn an annual salary of $240,000, with health benefits.
“After a rigorous and thorough search, our Board of Education is excited to appoint Ms. Bilotti to this position. She is an energetic and innovative educator who comes to us with more than 17 years of experience as a public school administrator,” he said.
He said Bilotti [here’s her website] now serves as superintendent of schools for the North Warren Regional School District in Blairstown, a position she has held for the past seven years. Before that she served as director of special services for the Watchung Hills Regional High School District, in Somerset County, as well as principal and assistant principal for the Greenwich Township School District.
Blundo said, “Ms. Bilotti is a highly regarded educational leader. She co-authored the NJASA/PSA Strategic Plan Learning Without Limits and serves as an adjunct professor in the Graduate School of Education at Centenary University, where she teaches superintendents and school leaders earning their masters and doctoral degrees.”
He said Bilotti “brings special expertise and passion in school policy, and she is one of three superintendents who advise the state legislature, serving on its bipartisan Joint Committee for the Public Schools.”
Blundo said Bilotti is “eager to move our district forward, working with our students, faculty, administration, and our school communities.”
She will officially start on July 1. “Until then,” said Blundo, “we are happy and grateful to have Dr. Daniel Fishbein continue as our interim superintendent, and he will work with Ms. Billoti to ensure a smooth transition.”
Moreover, he said, “We thank our entire community for its continued support and for working with us during this process of leadership change. The information we gathered was extremely valuable as we established a profile and completed the process of selecting the next superintendent.”
