Perth Amboy Board of Education puts superintendent on paid leave

PERTH AMBOY — The Perth Amboy Board of Education has voted to put Superintendent of Schools Janine Walker Caffrey on paid administrative leave.

Caffrey moved to a seat in the audience following the vote, in which only four members supported the motion.

One member abstained and four others had family conflicts that prevented them from voting.

The vote came after the board president read a list of 22 allegations involving Caffrey.

Donna Chiera, president of Perth Amboy Federation/AFT which represents all non-administrative employees, said “my issue is the trust and confidence in district leadership has been eroded so much and there is no process in place to fix that.”
