Hoboken School Board Hires New Business Administrator

Hoboken's public school district has a new business administrator, for the second time in three months. 

Carole Fredericks, who was appointed in October, will serve as the superintendent of the Franklin Township school district.

Fredericks, who also served as board secretary in Hoboken for the last three months, split her time as business administrator between Franklin and Hoboken. She received a salary from both. Now, she will be spending all her time as superintendent. 

On Tuesday night, the school board unanimously approved Ronald Smith as the interim business administrator and board secretary. 

Smith formerly served as a school administrator in Secaucus. 

Smith's appointment is contingent on Department of Education approval.
