The Washington Township
Board of Education formally wel-
comed new superintendent
Robert Goldschmidt to the dis-
trict at its last meeting.
Goldschmidt is currently the
superintendent of the Riverside
Township School District. He at-
tended the meeting with his fami-
ly.
I feel confident that we have
picked an outstanding candidate
to lead us into a new phase in
Washington Township, Board of
Education President Stephen Al-
tamuro said.
This is a great community
with great schools, Goldschmidt
said. I appreciate the confidence
of the board in appointing me to
this position. There are many
challenges facing schools in gen-
eral, in particular in New Jersey,
and in our schools here. If all of
our energy is positive and goal-
oriented, I am confident that we
can meet our goals.
I believe for our community
and our schools, the less time we
spend misrepresenting each
others motives and misunder-
standing each others purposes,
and the more time we spend find-
ing each others strengths and
working together to meet those
challenges, the more successful
we can be, Goldschmidt said. I
look forward to taking on this
challenge. A leader is counted on
to set a tone. I think I just set a
tone for the township.
In other meeting news:
The Washington Township
Board of Education is looking
into ways to cut costs and save
money.
One of the ways the board is
looking to cut costs is in energy.
The board has recently seen pre-
sentations from several alterna-
tive energy companies and is de-
termining what will be the best
one to move forward with.
They are also considering a
program through the state that
would update various energy
components in the schools, such
as boilers and windows, to make
them more energy efficient.
The district would receive as-
sistance from the state if they
went through with this program.
Altamuro said he expected the
board would be moving forward
with the alternative energy pro-
gram that they choose by next
summer.
Advertisements on buses and
nonviolent offenders performing
community service at the schools
are other ways the district is look-
ing into cutting costs. The board

We can meet
our goals

The Washington Twp. Sun
At the Washington Township
Council meeting, the council
voted to promote 17 Washington
Township Police officers at the re-
quest of Chief Rafael Muniz.
All the officers have served
with the Washington Township
police for several years.
The chief made a presentation
in front of the council and re-
quested that the officers be pro-
moted.
He thanked the council for
working with the police depart-
ment.
We will continue to provide an
effective police department, while
not raising taxes and working
within the budget, Muniz said.
The promotion of the 17 offi-
cers will not raise taxes this year,
officials said. The $20,000 that it
will add will be offset by savings
elsewhere.
We have a smaller police de-
partment, and they are asked to
do more, Muniz said. It will
serve them better to be well-su-
pervised. This will not cost the
taxpayers anything, and it wont
increase the budget.
Over a longer period of time,
the promotions would save the
township money.
It would cost the township
$65,000 to hire one officer, Muniz
said. This will cost $80,000 for 17
people, and it will be a huge
morale boost.
Before the officers were sworn
in beside their families, council
members made comments and
congratulated the officers.
We owe our men and women
in blue. This is long overdue,
Councilman Scott Newman said.
I think we should make a pact
now that in 2012 we are not look-
ing for layoffs of any of our Wash-
ington Township employees to
pay for this.
You couldnt have said it bet-
ter, Councilman Giancarlo DO-
razio said.
I agree, we need to put the
township budget on a path where
please see MEETING, page 2
Police officers promoted
is still waiting on guidelines from
the state about advertisements
being placed on buses.
The board has already had a
trial run with the community
service program.
Business Administrator Mar-
garet Meehan said she hadnt
heard any complaints, but had
not yet met with her supervisor to
get a full report.
Like many other districts in
the state, Washington Township
has not settled its teachers con-
tract yet.
The district and union negotia-
tors will be meeting in the next
few weeks.
