HACKETTSTOWN -- The board of education
hired Diane Pittenger on Wednesday to take on the role of
director of curriculum and instruction for the
district.
Pittenger replaces Karl Mundi, who
accepted the position of assistant superintendent at Hanover
Park Regional School District.
"(Pittenger) has a vast array of skills
and experience that fit nicely with the expertise of a
director of curriculum and instruction," district
Superintendent Bob Gratz said.
Pittenger works as an education program
development specialist for the New Jersey Department of
Education's Sussex County office, and has experience with
state and federal educational objectives.
She also worked as the district
coordinator of special projects with the Hopatcong Borough
school district.
Pittenger earned a Bachelor of Arts
degree from Upsala College and a Master of Science in
Education from Jersey City State College.
She is slated to begin her new post with
the Hackettstown school district by Nov. 1 and will earn a
salary of $102,000, Gratz said.
The district is excited to welcome
Pittenger to the district, but is also grateful for Mundi's
years of excellent work and service, Gratz said.
Mundi joined the district five years ago
and served as the director of curriculum and instruction for
the last two years.
