Midland Park April 21, 2010 THE VILLADOM TIMES I • Page 3 The Midland Park Board of Education has selected a new superintendent of schools to replace Dr. William Heebink, who will retire in June due to health reasons. Dr. Marie Cirasella, the assistant superintendent of the Bloomfield School System in Essex County since 2006, is expected to be officially appointed to the position at the board’s reorganization meeting on April 27. “We are happy and pleased to bring her forward. She fits the needs of the district. She will be able to lead us through these tough times and bring the district to a new level,” said board President Rich Venditti. Board selects new superintendent of schools “Her passion for education, her vast experience in the classroom, as a principal and assistant superintendent, we felt, make her an ideal candidate for Midland Park,” the board president added. He said contract terms had not yet been finalized. A Woodland Park resident, Dr. Cirasella has a B.S. in communications and journalism from William Paterson University, master’s degrees in curriculum and instruction and in education administration from Caldwell College, and her Ed.D. in educational leadership management and policy from Seton Hall University. “I’m truly honored to have been selected as the district’s next superintendent of schools. Midland Park is a wonderful community with excellent schools and a dedicated board of education. I’m looking forward to joining the district and community team as we work together for the benefit of all our students,” Dr. Cirasella said in a statement. She was selected from a field of 20 applicants for the position. The board conducted its own search to fill the vacancy. Prior to being promoted to assistant superintendent in Bloomfield, Dr. Cirasella served as principal of Brookdale School for five years and had also taught fifth grade in Berkeley Heights. Among her accomplishment in her current post, Dr. Cirasella lists helping bring the district’s middle and high school out of failing status and the establishment of an all-day kindergarten. When she was publically interviewed last month, she said that her leadership style revolves around communication, collaboration and commitment to success, vesting in the community and in the schools. She also said she is committed to using technology to enhance instruction and make it more meaningful for the students. April 19, 1775. Patriots Day The Day it all Began!
