WATERFORD, N.J. – A New Jersey superintendent’s job remains in limbo after the Waterford Township Board of Education voted to delay action amid allegations of ageism, retaliation and sexism from teachers.

Waterford Township officials placed superintendent Jay Eitner on “non-punitive” leave Oct. 19 and voted this week to extend it until Feb. 28 as the school board considers a slew of complaints filed with the Office of the Commissioner of Education during his year and half in the district, NJ.com reports.

“According to documents obtained through a records request, (teachers) told the Office of the Commissioner of Education in filings this summer that retaliation sometimes take the form of a transfer to a different teaching assignment, a disclosure of confidential information from a teacher’s personnel file, or a thinly veiled jab in a tweet,” according to the news site.

Three teachers in the district have also filed notices with the district of their intent to sue for damages of over $100,000 each over alleged age discrimination. Many others have reportedly complained to the state.

“No one is fighting change,” Deborah Borrelli, one of the complaining teachers, told NJ.com. “We are standing up against sexual harassment, intimidation, and bullying.”

“We are experienced educators who deserve to be treated as professionals,” said Daniel Bittner, another disgruntled educator. Teachers pointed to Eitner’s history of complaints in previous school district, but the superintendent contends he was hired for his prior posts and at Waterford schools with a mandate to implement reforms unpopular with many senior educators.

“In both places, I was hired as a change agent,” Eitner said, adding that his approach goes beyond upsetting the apple cart to “kicking it down the road.”

“I’m not here to make friends. I’m not a coddler,” he said. “I’m here for the kids.”

Eitner contends the complaints represent an organized effort by some teachers and board president Terri Chiddenton to run him out of town.

Chiddenton, he said, has “had a personal and political vendetta against me from the beginning.”

The teacher complaints to the Commissioner of Education were forwarded to the state’s Office of Administrative Law, and a judge is currently considering a motion by Eitner’s attorney to dismiss the case.

“The motion argues that the complaints do not fall under the commissioner’s jurisdiction, among other things,” NJ.com reports.

The last day of Eitner’s initial 60-day leave came Monday, when board members deliberated for four hours before voting 6-3 to extend his leave until Feb. 28.

“I can tell you the board decided to take certain actions and they feel that they need this amount of time,” board attorney John Wade said.

District officials and board members have refused to discuss the situation.

Complaining teachers, meanwhile, told NJ.com they were disappointed in the board’s inaction.

“I do know there are Board of Ed. Members who understand the severity of what he’s done, but I’m disappointed that some on the board didn’t take it seriously enough to address it the way it should be addressed,” teacher Patricia Chiodi said.
