Mr. Mattoon,
Dr. Wallace announced her resignation from the Board of Education
verbally. Although requested several times, I did not receive a formal
letter of resignation from Dr. Wallace; therefore, there are no public
records that are responsive to your request.

Dear Wolf, Veronica,
Please provide the date Serena Wallace informed the board that she was resigning her position and please provide a copy of any notices advising the public that the seat is now vacated. If an annoucement has not been made, when does the board plan on announcing this vacancy? Also, please provide any correspondence to the County Superintendent informing him that there is a vacancy since she informed the board that she was resigning.
Yours sincerely,
James Mattoon
Mr. Mattoon,
Attached is a copy of the Public Notice that was published in the
September 26, 2025, edition of the Asbury Park Press. Dr. Wallace
informed the Board of her resignation after adjourning the September 2,
2025, board meeting. At that time, she informed the Board that she was
moving from Manalapan effective September 15, 2025. Superintendent Nicole
Santora verbally notified Dr. Lester Richens, Executive County
Superintendent for Monmouth County the following week.
