New school chief working to learn about Cranbury

[news]

John Haney became Cranbury's new chief school administrator July 2

Cranbury School's new Chief School Administrator John Haney wants to know more about where he is before deciding where he wants to go.

"I'm trying to learn as much as I can about the school and I'm trying to meet people and reach out to members of the community," he said Monday. "When you come to a place and you're new, you want to learn as much as you can about it before you start implementing things."

While students may be off until September, the new administrator is just getting down to business formulating his plans for the rest of the summer and sculpting even bigger ones for the upcoming year.

Mr. Haney, 49, of Hopewell, took over the administrator post previously held by Carol Malouf on July 2 and will earn $128,000 this year. Before coming to Cranbury, he worked as principal of Clinton Public School, a K-8, single-school district in Hunterdon County.

Now that he's settling into his new position, Mr. Haney said things at Cranbury School are busy, but running smoothly. He said he's been hard at work creating the school's master schedule, checking on the progress of getting ready to reopen in September, attending curriculum meetings, interviewing candidates for open positions and getting to know his colleagues.
