The Pinelands Regional School District hired a new high school principal at its May 15 Board of Education Meeting but lost a board member, and the two actions may have been related.

The BOE voted 7-1 to hire Troy Henderson, currently the principal of the Little Egg Harbor School District’s Frog Pond Elementary School, to replace the retiring Shaun Banin, the current Pinelands Regional High School principal, starting July 1. Henderson will receive a salary of $139,500 through June 30, 2020.
