The Little Egg Harbor Board of Education has a new member. At its Jan. 13 meeting, the BOE filled a seat to replace former member Allison L. Laurence, who had submitted her resignation with one year remaining in her three-year term. The board decided to appoint Dennis S. O’Keefe, also an educator.

He brings more than three decades of experience in education, leadership and industry to his service on the board of education.
