Michael Salvatore, Ph.D.

Dr. Michael Salvatore was appointed superintendent of schools in the city of Long Branch in April 2011, and later expanded his leadership role through an intergovernmental agreement with neighboring Deal Borough School District in 2014. Over the course of leading both, widely varying districts he has developed a reputation as a personable, forward thinking instructional leader whose purpose is to ensure children matter most.
