Carl Morelli, the Little Egg Harbor business administrator, has reported all of the part-time paraprofessionals needed to replace the 81 full-time paras eliminated at the end of the 2025-26 school year have been hired.

He said 119 were ready to go come September, with 104 working with special education students while the other 15 would be assigned to the general student population. Morelli also said even more paraprofessionals are being considered as “back-ups.”
