It wasn’t on the Southern Regional Board of Education’s agenda to start the day. Rather, it slipped in during the closed session before the school board’s public meeting on April 1, and it wasn’t an April Fool’s prank.

Chuck Donohue Jr. is stepping down as the high school’s athletic director and leaving the district. His last day will be July 31.

“I’m going back to my alma mater, St. Joseph-Hammonton, now St. Joseph Academy, to be the athletic director there,” Donohue said.
