Jackson Board of Education Selects Deputy Superintendent Lu Anne Meinders to be the Next Superintendent of Schools Beginning July 1
|
|
After searching for months, posting the job twice and receiving troves of resumes from all over New Jersey and surrounding states, the Board of Education ultimately decided it needed to look no further than within its own family to find the district’s next superintendent of schools.
At the May 21 meeting the board voted unanimously in favor of appointing Lu Anne Meinders, the district’s current deputy superintendent, to be the new superintendent beginning July 1. Meinders will replace Superintendent Thomas Gialanella, who is retiring as of June 30.
“With Mrs. Meinders at the helm, the district will continue to grow in the areas of curriculum and community,’’ said Board of Education President Barbara Fiero. “She has a vision for the district’s future that is aggressive and breathtaking and we have full confidence in her abilities. We are looking forward to continuing to work with someone who has such dedication to our students.’’
After graduating with degrees in both business administration and English and working in private industry, Meinders began a career in education and has been with the district for 25 years. She was a middle school math and science teacher, then an advanced placement English teacher and served as the district coordinator of grants and district coordinator of curriculum before becoming the district’s Deputy Superintendent. She is a Jackson resident.
“The Jackson School District is at a critical juncture and I am excited to have an opportunity to continue to serve the students and taxpayers of Jackson in this capacity,’’ Meinders said. “I love this district and I am honored the board has given me the opportunity to continue to shape its future.’’

Flu Season Is Here - Let's all Stay Healthy
|
|
|
- If you are sick, stay home.
- Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze.
- Wash your hands.
|
|
A note from our school nurses:
|
|
According to the Centers for Disease Control, this is the earliest flu season we have seen in some time and New Jersey already has a significant amount of cases.
With this in mind, please keep your children home, should they exhibit any flu symptoms, which include fever, body aches, chills, headache, cough, or vomiting. We advise that you keep your children home from school until they are fever-free for a full 24 hours WITHOUT the use of any fever-reducing medications (such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen).
While in school, we will be reminding everyone about the importance of preventative actions, such as frequent hand washing and covering their mouths when they cough or sneeze. The CDC also recommends the Flu Shot for anyone above the age of 6 months, and high risk groups.
