Hoboken Board of Education Business Administrator William Takacs and his assistant Maria Vazquez are no longer working for the district, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Mark Toback confirmed Friday morning.

Takacs formerly served as the Hudson County Executive School Business Administrator, and was hired at an annual salary of $130,000. 

It's unclear why the two employees—who as of Friday morning were still listed on the BOE's website as employees of the Business Office—were evidently terminated. 

Without Takacs and Vazquez, the district's business office has eight employees.

Toback said he couldn't elaborate on more details, because it was a "confidential" personnel issue.
