In April of 2016, then interim-Superintendent Fano is quoted as saying, “I am so pleased and honored that the Board of Education has confidence in me to implement our shared vision for the district and it’s nearly 5,000 students…. We have dedicated teachers and administrators, highly engaged parents and outstanding students….”
It is time that these words are re-shared and we take a deeper look at this quote and layer it onto our District’s own motto, "We commit to inspiring and empowering all students in Randolph Schools to reach their full potential as unique, responsible and educated members of a global society.”
Indeed, we are a group of highly engaged parents, we are also gravely concerned about the district’s administration. We unfortunately find ourselves in the same position as the Randolph Education Association and have “no confidence” in Superintendent Fano. We believe that Superintendent Fano has betrayed not only us, but all stakeholders in the Randolph Township Schools – including the teachers, students, and other district employees. As such, we are asking for the following:
- Consider the immediate termination of Ms. Fano, with the understanding it would require “buying her out” of the third year of her current contract
- The Randolph Township Board of Education members commit to us that they will not be renew Ms. Fano’s contract starting in the 2018/19 School year
- Ms. Fano considers the immediate option of resigning her position
Among the examples that have lead us to this are:
- A tremendous shift in the educational vision of RHS and the district overall
- Development and perpetuation of punitive HR policies
- A lack of input from all stakeholders on all major decisions - whether staff or education based
- Significant increase in grievances and unfair labor practice complaints
- Highly suspect decisions impacting teachers and administrators in all 6 schools in the district
- Pervasive and persistent low morale among district employee morale; in fact, this has grown worse over the past 12 months
- Continued failure in transparent and consistent communication
- Continued lack of respect and professional ethics
If we do not act, and demand better, we will continue to see more of the current issues we have: failure to communicate truthfully and openly, a lack of respect, and a critical lack of professional ethics. We risk losing more talented, dedicated and great educators and administrators. (Whether by force as we have recently witnessed, or voluntarily.)
Back in 2017, Superintendent Fano is also quoted as saying, “I look forward to concluding this process and leading the district into a new era of achievement.” We the citizens of Randolph truly look forward to the Board of Education leading us into a new era, where pride is taken in our administration, staff and students. And when we have full faith and confidence in the Board of Education and the Superintendent, and sign our name in attestation:

One of the many reasons why we moved here over 17 years ago was because of the Public School System in Randolph. The Music Program has allows been one of the best not only in New Jersey but in the U. S. Why would any Board want to let these slip away as it has been in years. Let’s give the people that care the most ( the children ) all they deserve. Let’s think about the future leaders. Our children. And give them back the Best Education they deserve.
Driving property values down while advancing an agenda that has not proven to produce educational results. All stakeholders lose: students, teachers, parents, taxpayers - results in a downward spiral. Stop it while we CAN!!
Inappropriate relationships with subordinate staff members and diminishing music program under this administration.
Systematically getting “rid” of teachers that have served our community for years! Ive watched them cry when their 5th graders graduate becauae they care that much- way too many unanswered questions- way too many parents concerned- way too many actions that dont have merit!! Parents have had it!!!!
My taxes have doubled since I purchased my home. I moved here because of the quality of the school system. I am deeply concerned by the conduct and decisions made by the administration. I believe that the school system deserves better.
Time to wake up
Disappointed that she would cut the music program. She should have made every effort to keep it going. She should step down.

The Music Department has been hit hard the past 2 years. We have lost many quality Music teachers. I have had private conversations with a number of the Music teachers that remain and I am VERY concerned that we may lose more of these great teachers. I would be very happy to see Ms. Fano go before she does more damage.
