NJASA Offers Deepest Sympathy |
|
|
|
Saul, beloved husband, father, grandfather, friend, and one of the most innovative and passionate educators New Jersey has ever known, passed away May 26, 2022. He was chosen by New Jersey Governor Thomas H. Kean to join his cabinet as the Commissioner of Education for the State of New Jersey. Saul served the entirety of Kean's two terms, and was "blessed" (his words) to partner with an equally educationally activist Governor like Kean; both earned national recognition for New Jersey's leadership in education reform. Together the two transformed New Jersey into a testing ground for national ideas, and exported many of their own notions worldwide.
