Howell BOE Approves 3 New Teachers, Guidance Counselor

HOWELL, NJ – The Howell Board of Education unanimously approved the addition of three teachers to the school district at a July 8 meeting. While two positions were recently created, one individual will replace an existing position at Newbury School.

Jessica Waring, Erica Galatola and Gabriella Panella were approved for the positions of Kindergarten teacher at Taunton School, Fifth Grade Teacher at Newbury School and Special Education teacher at Newbury School respectively during the July 8 meeting. Galatola will be replacing educator Paul Baker.

Another new addition to the district will be guidance counselor Jessica Amato at Middle School North. Amato will be replacing Joan Lindsay as the former guidance counselor enters retirement.

Although students can be certain that they will see the new faces during the new school year, it still remains to be seen where and how fall classes will take place. According to a Board of Education Community Interaction meeting on July 2, superintendent Joseph Isola plans to present a reopening strategy for the district at an Aug. 5 Board of Education meeting.
