On Wednesday, New Jersey officials launched the search for a new leader to replace Katrina McCombs, outgoing superintendent of the Camden City School District.
According to a notice on the school district’s website, the New Jersey Department of Education has hired Illinois-based HYA Associates to lead the search. The firm was selected “in a competitive bid process that required multiple rounds of review,” the website said.
A community input survey is open to students, parents and staff until June 11. The district will concurrently hold focus groups June 2–12. A feedback report will be presented to the School Advisory Board the week of June 17.
Ronsha A. Dickerson, a Camden resident and executive director of the Camden Parent and Student Union, said the search process is leaning in the right direction.
“This is not a bad thing, but it should have been in place already,” she said, adding that the community has been calling for an open process for a superintendent search since 2013, when the state took over the school district. “Our main concern is to keep the process transparent for the community.”
A New Jersey county is set to tokenize $240 billion worth of property deeds after signing a deal with the blockchain-backed land record management firm Balcony.
Balcony said on May 28 that it signed a five-year deal with the Bergen County Clerk’s Office to tokenize 370,000 deeds on the Avalanche blockchain, adding that this was “the largest blockchain-based deed tokenization project in US history.”
Bergen County is New Jersey’s most populous county and is located northwest of Manhattan in New York City across the Hudson River. Bergen County has nearly 1 million residents, producing around $500 million in annual property tax revenue.

The deal was backed by Blizzard, an Avalanche-focused venture capital fund.
Balcony said the project will allow Bergen County to obtain a tamper-proof, searchable chain of title across all of its 70 municipalities.
Balcony expects the integration will cut deed processing times by over 90% while reducing the risk of fraud, title disputes and administrative errors.
Balcony CEO Dan Silverman said the project was a “turning point” for government record systems and real estate.
“We’re demonstrating how secure, distributed systems can replace outdated infrastructure and deliver real-world value for both governments and the public.”
Balcony plans expansion in New Jersey and beyond
Balcony said it is working with several other counties in New Jersey — including Camden, Orange and Cliffside Park — to modernize their real estate management records.
It said that Orange County lost nearly $1 million in municipal revenue due to incomplete and outdated records under the current management system, highlighting the need for a more effective solution.
The tokenization of 370,000 property deeds in Bergen County brings the total number of tokenized deeds in New Jersey to approximately 460,000.
Balcony said it intends to expand beyond New Jersey in the future.
