SUPERINTENDENT QUITS!
New Hope for Our Public Schools

Our Public School Superintendent, Joyce Baynes, quit suddenly on December 20, 2001.

Dr. John Grieco, Superintendent of the prestigious Bergen County Academies, has agreed to serve as the Interim Superintendent of our public schools.

Our Board of Education President, Dave Matthews, in voicing support of Dr. Grieco’s appointment and Baynes departure, said, “The board and the City of Englewood are tired of having such low academic achievement. We want to work with the community to bring Englewood back to being a great school system." (Source: The Record, Bergen County, December 22, 2001)

Bergen County and State officials are also in support of Dr. Grieco's plans to create magnet academies at Dwight Morrow High School. Pat Schuber, Bergen County Executive, said, "It is our hope that the money now spent on litigation will go toward educating kids… I am hopeful that we … can all be pulling in the same direction to improve the academic opportunities for the students in and near Englewood."

Dr Grieco and his successful team of administrators can now work to improve the poor academic performance in our public schools. If this very capable group of people cannot bring accountability and order to the chaotic state of our public education system, no one can!

We are hopeful and confident that they will succeed!
