N.J. superintendent charged with defecating on high school track

A North Jersey school superintendent has been charged with defecating on another district's high school track and football field, where police said coaches were finding feces on "a daily basis."

Thomas Tramaglini, superintendent of Kenilworth Public Schools in Union County, was charged with defecating in public, lewdness, and littering. Tramaglini, 42, lives in Matawan, which is two towns over from Holmdel, Monmouth County, where the feces were found at the high school.

Holmdel police said the school's resource officer and other staff monitored the track and football area to catch the alleged dumper.

Tramaglini was running at the track at 5:50 a.m. before he was arrested Monday, according to NJ.com.

Tramaglini requested a paid leave of absence from his job, which the district granted. Kenilworth, where Tramaglini was appointed superintendent in 2015, is 30 miles north of Holmdel.
