One of the most important aspects of the new Red Bank Regional High School was the new Board of Education, with members from Red Bank. Shrews- bury, and Little Silver. The Board took steps to make our new school a reality. Land on Hance, Ridge, and Harding Roads in Little Silver was purchased, and an educational consultant and architect were hired; curriculum studies were started, and a new policy manual was begun. To facilitate efficiency and to ease each member s load, the Board was organized into two standing committees. Administrative and Planning. Each group acted as a fact-finding body to obtain and evaluate information and present recommendations. The Administrative Committee was responsible for the employment of all personnel from the super intendent to the custodian. Foremost on their agenda was the selection of Mr. Harold Schaible as Superintendent of the regional district. Qualifi- cations of over twenty applicants were reviewed before Mr. Schaible was hired. Also on the com- mittee s list of duties was the leasing of the high school building from the Red Bank Public School System and the formulation of school policy. The disruption policy, for example, was designed to affect solutions to various disagreements. The Planning Committee handled financial busi- ness of the school. Responsible for drawing up the budget, this committee decided how funds would be allocated to best upgrade the educational proc- ess in the school. Curriculum revisions were con- sidered by the committee to provide more stimu- lating courses and techniques of teaching. The Board President. Mr. Clarence Gale, served as a liaison between the committees and the com- munity. Presiding at all meetings, he worked closely with Mr. Schaible to coordinate the board's actions with the school's needs. The Board Secretary, Mr. Salvatore Giovenco, performed many important duties assigned to him by law. He was responsible for notifying board members of the meetings and keeping record of all financial business including payroll. In addition, Mr. Giovenco handled- the details of the election process including reception of petitions from candi- dates and absentee ballots, preparation of sample ballots, and announcement of results. Mrs. Carolyn Nilson was appointed to the newly- created post of Public Relations Information Di- rector. Her important job involved researching all sources of information within the school—student, faculty, special events—through interviews, meet ings, and qeneral requests. This information was then compiled into press releases for media such as the Red Bank Regional Newsletter—the Regional Report —and the local newspapers. 21 Administrative Com., I. to r.: Earl Mnrri Curtis Callan, James Parker Samuel Hathaway.
